Natural Remedies to Cure Painful Pepper Burns: Expert Advice
A burning sensation from touching hot peppers affects many people because capsaicin exists as the compound that creates pepper heat. The skin receptors which bind with capsaicin create discomfort that worsens when the substance stays on the skin without early treatment. Various natural solutions efficiently reduce the burning sensation that occurs post hot pepper exposure.
Grease-Cutting Dish Soap
When dealing with capsaicin which exists as an oil-based chemical it reacts better to grease-cutting dish soap rather than conventional hand soap to effectively remove it from the skin. Clean the contaminated skin area with grease-cutting soap because this product will dissolve and remove capsaicin oil.
Oil Application
Dissolving capsaicin becomes possible through the use of cooking oils such as vegetable oil and olive oil because fat compounds have a solvent effect on capsaicin. Apply a layer of oil on the affected zone before using a dish soap wash to eliminate both the trapped capsaicin and the used oil. 
Alcohol Rinse
The chemical capsaicin exhibits more affinity toward alcohol solution than it does in water-based solutions. Rubbing alcohol serves as a dissolving agent for capsaicin oil which reduces intense burning symptoms. Use rubbing alcohol to treat the contaminated region before completely rinsing it with water. 
Acidic Solutions
Vinegar together with lemon juice act as acidic agents which reduce the alkaline component of capsaicin. The skin burn from capsaicin will decrease when you apply lemon juice or vinegar either through direct pour or by soaking in vinegar water mixture for 15 minutes. 
Baking Soda or Cornstarch Paste
The combination of baking soda and cornstarch acts to reduce capsaicin oil in the affected area. Prepare a thick mixture by adding only a small amount of water then apply it to the scorching area. The paste needs to dry before washing the skin with soap water.
These natural treatments with preventive techniques will help you control pepper burn pain effectively which results in more pleasant experiences while dealing with hot peppers.
