Help! How to alleviate jalapeno burn?

Asked by jenandcolin (2301points) June 23rd, 2010

I chopped a jalapeno pepper and then washed my hands. Unfortunately, some pepper oil must have remained. I touched the outside of my nose (the part between the two nostrils) and the corner of my mouth. It burns! Does anyone know the quickest way to make this burn leave?
