I'm experiencing a really bad burning sensation on my hands after cutting ginger and chillis, and it's been going on for about three hours now. I've tried some home remedies like using milk, but nothing seems to work. I even tried ValerateN cream and took a pain killer, but the pain is still unbearable.
