" how to take out burn on skin from hot peppers"
Hi saity,
Thank you for your question.
Recommended is to soak the affected area in milk. Sugar also helps
neutralize the burn.
Chile Warning
http://www.victorysupermarkets.com/CHILI-PEPPERS.html
When handling chiles, be careful! Chiles contain volatile oils that
can irritate and burn skin and eyes. Wear rubber gloves when working
with chiles and be sure not to touch your face or eyes.
Wash your hands thoroughly with warm soapy water when finished. If you
can't work in rubber gloves, rub your hands with cooking oil before
handling to help protect your skin.
Should you suffer from chile burn (that begins with a tingling
irritation), soak the affected area in milk. Sugar will also help
neutralize burns. If your eyes or nose are burned by chile, flush
immediately with cold water.
When working with dried chiles, use only cold water. Hot water poured
on dried chiles may produce fumes that can irritate nose and eyes.

What is capsaicin?

"Capsaicin is the ingredient found in different types of peppers, such
as cayenne peppers, that makes the peppers hot. It is eaten as raw or
cooked peppers or as dried powder, which may be added to food or
drinks. It also comes in creams for topical use and is available as a
dietary supplement."
"Keep capsaicin from contact with eyes and other moist mucous
membranes. The intense burn that comes from capsaicin coming into
contact with moist mucous membranes is the reason it is a common
component in self-defense pepper sprays. When sprayed into the eyes of
an attacker, it can cause blindness and burning for up to 30 minutes.
Though the spray causes no permanent damage, the affected area should
be flushed with water to alleviate the burn.
Use vinegar or soap after coming into contact with capsaicin to remove
it from hands and to avoid accidentally spreading it to eyes, nose, or
mouth. Using disposable gloves to handle cayenne peppers or to apply
capsaicin cream is also effective."
