Not sure what the remedy is....but I use disposable gloves when handling chilies now....keep a box under the sink

cartooncath, I don't really know what the proper/best remedy is for your hands so mine is a suggestion only.First though, very important - don't touch your face (eyes, nose, lips, mouth.....) and don't touch any other sensitive areas of your body either with those 'chilli hands".
Now my suggestion.....To calm a too-hot chilli dish when one is eating that dish, the recommended drink is milk or something similar e.g. yoghurt, so IMO you need to stop washing your hands which is probably only making them worse and here's my suggestion - try soaking your hands in milk.
I sooo help that helps - please let us know if you try my suggestion and how much it helps.:-))
