Im doing hot pepper n my hand without wearing gloves now I finished my hand sooo hotblike n fire what I put in homemade medicine
Aug 6, 2014

Dr. Rania Mousa General Medicine
Hot peppers contain a compound called capsaicin or any of the related compounds called capsaicinoids which produce a burning sensation when they comes into contact with mucous membranes. Although capsaicinoids produce a feeling of heat, they won't actually attack your tissue or cause a chemical burn. The molecules bind to a pain receptor, so you may suffer excuciating agony, but your body isn't being harmed by the chemical. Capsaicin is an alkaline oil.

-first wash with water and soap then

-rub a tablespoon of olive oil all over my hands for about a minute, then washed them with soap and water. The olive oil helped to dissolve the capsaicin in the jalapeno (hot pepper) which is more soluble in oil than in water , so it could be rinsed away.

-soak your hands in bowl of milk with ice cubes in it will help relieve the pain.if no milk use yogurt or ice cream

- you can try applying vaseline or petroleum jelly on the affected skin

Cold water, ice for as long as you can tolerate. After that drythem well and aapply Vaseline petroleum jelly. If it does not improve, you may need an antihistamine (like Zyrtec or Polaramine).
