Re: jalapeno's
Yea, this happens to me when I chop up jalepenos. I once got some of the 'juice' inside a cut between my nail and cuticle and it was burning for days...no matter how many times I washed my hands. Also - whatever you do, don't put your hands near your eyes...been there...OUCH!

Re: jalapeno's
Try rubbing alcohol first to remove the burning oil. Then, soak the skin in milk or another dairy product. Only use water or saline for your eyes, however, and please remember that the best way to combat the chile pepper heat is to use rubber gloves when handling peppers.
Also, this was suggested by a poison control center for those times you do not have a dairy product on hand: Wash the skin with warm, soapy water. Rub the skin with vegetable or olive oil and let set a minute. Rinse.
Hopefully this helps you find some relief with your burning skin.
***got this from the internet. Hope you feel better!
