Overview
Chili pepper burns are caused by an irritating substance found in the skin of the pepper. This burn can feel like a sunburn, a throbbing and prickling feeling, or a very intense, hot pain.
The best treatment is to wash the area with soap and water and then put a large amount of vegetable oil on the area for at least an hour. If the burning feeling is on your hands, dip your hands in vegetable oil for the hour.
