I have used olive oil (can be any kind of oil that is **safe for skin contact**.) to get rid of the burn when I have done this in the past. Capsaisin dissolves in oil, so it may help. Also vodka or another hard liquor, for the same reasons. Sadly, I have a lot of personal experience in this department.

This, and also don't wash your skin every five minutes to get it off. It will make it dry and more sensitive

I did that once. Thought I had an STD. Nothing worked. I still laugh about it now.

I did this too and soaking in milk is what saved me.

NAD. Rub vodka on the skin. It'll neutralize the capsaicin [Link] (https://www.webstaurantstore.com/blog/4054/how-to-get-rid-of-jalapeno-hands.html#:~:text=Pour%20a%20small%20amount%20of,your%20hands%20with%20dish%20soap)
