When handling fresh chiles, it is a good idea to wear rubber gloves to protect your hands against capaicin, the potent chemical in chiles responsible for their heat. Another method of protecting your hands is to rub your fingers with vegetable oil; doing so helps prevent the capsaicin from penetrating the skin. In any event be very careful not to touch your eyes or face when working with chiles, and always wash you hands thoroughly afterwards. You can neutralize capsaicin on your fingers by washing them in a mixture of 1 quart water and 1 tablespoon of bleach.

Soak your hands in MILK each and every few hours...it is going to take many soaks to get all of it off...and next time, use gloves...you may desire to purchase disposable kitchen gloves for this objective in a number of your larger grocery shops interior the paper aisle, close to plastic wrap...in the event that they do no longer sell them on your section, try the plastic wrap...the juice from the peppers could make your existence depressing for countless days, so soak nicely and many times...and stay away from putting your hands close on your eyes for some days or you would be cleansing your eyes out with milk besides...and which will burn greater beneficial than your hands do now...

Texas Monthly fielded this question, and suggested first rubbing your hands with oil (any kind of oil, but don't use the extra-virgin olive oil if you can help it 'cause that's expensive!), then washing your hands with soap and water. I think the first step is so that the capsaicin oil comes out of your skin and "dissolves" into the oil you just rubbed on.

the oil of the pepper is what is burning. Gentle tap some flour or cornstarch on the area. Don't really bub in it. Just tap a little. You want to dry it out.
Good luck. I know it hurts....

Try holding an ice cube on the spot for a few seconds and see if that helps. You could wrap the ice cube into a wash cloth and hold it on your hand for a few minutes. Or you could soak your hand in a bowl of cold water.

Wash it with dishwashing liquid. that will remove the peppers' oil.
Rinse very well, and that should do it.
