If the skin encounters chili peppers to produce a burning sensation, you should stay away from chili peppers, avoid re-exposure, and use water or alcohol to clean the area. If itching, redness, swelling, burning and other symptoms, you can follow the doctor’s instructions to use medication to improve.
1. Chili peppers contain capsaicin. When washing or cutting chili peppers, capsaicin gets on the skin, causing microvascular dilatation and leading to redness and heat. At the same time, it also stimulates the pain nerve endings of the skin to produce a chemical effect, thus giving us a hot, burning sensation. If the skin only appears to be hot symptoms, it is recommended to stay away from chili peppers, and use water or alcohol to clean the local area.
2. If there are symptoms such as tingling, redness, swelling and itching, consider contact dermatitis, first of all, you should stay away from chili peppers and avoid further contact. It is recommended to use topical hydrocortisone, dexamethasone and other glucocorticoid drugs, with anti-inflammatory, anti-allergic effect. If the itching is intolerable, it is recommended to follow the doctor’s instructions to take oral loratadine, cetirizine and other antihistamines to facilitate the itching.
