Buring sensation due to chillis
Due to cutting ginger and chillis, I'm having burning sensation on hands for three hours. Despite trying to use milk and other home remedies and also Valerate-N and taking a pain killer, the pain is unbearable. Please suggest something.

Hi...first and foremost you need to avoid direct contact with these stinging agents. Wear kitchen gloves while at work.
You will need to get opinion of an experienced dermatologist to get the right diagnosis. Sometimes a sudden onset of irritation while working can be due to an alteration of your immune sensitivity. This can be determined via a direct consultation or video appointment
Next Steps
you can get an appointment by contacting me via practo or calling my clinic.
Health Tips
to boost your immunity, sleep early at 10pm and take direct sunlight between 7 and 8 am.

Hello dear. Ginger and chillis can give you irritant contact dermatitis. Usually intact skin becomes normal when the irritant is withdrawn. Already damaged skin with cuts and abrasions can become infected and give you pain and burning sensation.
Kindly share a clear picture of the hands
