Chili fingers are painful because capsaicin secreted by chilies paralyzes nerve endings. Capsaicin is an alkaloid that dissolves in hot water. Soak your hands in hot water to dissolve capsaicin, thus reducing the burning and pain. However, it should be noted that when you just soak in hot water, you may feel very uncomfortable. At this time, you must stick to it, so as to wash off the capsaicin on your hands. After soaking, rinse with hot water, and finally dry your hands with a towel.
