Even mild chillies burn me from the inside. After eating them, I can feel my face swelling and cheeks burning hot pink. The swelling disappears overnight, but the colour stays for days, so no chillies for me ever. <br /><br />I hope your burning didn't last too long, a bag of frozen peas held there might help, or rub on a cut tomato to take out the sting, same as for sunburn.
