* 1 You need to allow time for all remedies to work to get the capsaicin off.

Rinse the affected area with rubbing alcohol. Oil-based substances like capsaicin are soluble in alcohol, and alcohol also creates a cooling effect that provides topical relief. The Chile Pepper Institute at New Mexico State University recommends following the alcohol with milk.
* 2

Massage vegetable oil into the affected area to dilute the capsaicin, which is soluble in oil, and remove it from the pores. Wipe away the oil with a paper towel.
* 3

Wash the affected area vigorously with liquid dishwashing detergent and lukewarm water. Dishwashing liquids are formulated specifically to help oily substances bond with water and wash away, which is exactly what is necessary with capsaicin.
