Description Capsaicin is an alkylamide that can be found in chilli peppers as its main irritant component with some analgesic properties. It also has many other properties, so it may help to control peripheral nerve pain as well as can be helpful during chemotherapy and radiotherapy. Capsaicin, as an irritant compound, affects body temperature, which can be observed by a thermal camera. This research is aimed to specify what is its effect to facial and neck temperature.
