Owwwww, yeah I don't think that'd be good at all.

Definitely not - and I suspect that, in addition to the burn itself, the spices act as a local skin irritant! *cough*

ow-ow-ow-ow-ow-ow-ow-ow-ow!

A tub of cold plain yoghurt might just be your best friend at the moment.

The ice pack got most of the burn but I never thought of yoghurt for the irritation.

*checks fridge*

Hmm, I wonder if chocolate mousse would have the same effect?
Just joking!

No plain yoghurt in there so I might stagger over to the shops to get some, I think.

The next morning and, other than smelling like sour curds, much improved. Thank you for the yoghurt idea.

Many years ago Rob told me about a poor chap who after chopping up strong chillies without gloves, went and had a pee. Oops.

This was the way he found some relief, so I thought it might be worth a try for you.

Youch!

I've never seen that one but I do remember a friend rubbing his cheek after chopping chillis and getting a burn across his face for a little while.

whimpers in quiet sympathy...

Mine was more like a wail of loud agony initially but feeling better today - the yoghurt (see upthread) did help.
