摘要

Topical formulations comprising an effective amount of menthol in combination with an acidifier, wherein the topical formulation has a pH of about 1 to 3, and methods comprising administration of the same, and use of the topical formulations to treat pain and/or inflammation associated with a skin condition are described. For example, the topical formulation relieves pain, redness, swelling, reduces rash and/or itching relating to skin conditions, such as, but not limited to, any kind of envenomation from stings and/or bites from animals, insects and plants in addition to contact dermatitis, burns, urticaria, rash and other forms of dermatitis. Treatment of pain and/or inflammation including activation and/or stimulation and/or blocking and/or reducing the activity of one or more pain receptors to thereby treat the pain and/or inflammation is described.
