If spiciness is actually pain, how come my finger never felt spiciness?

cut your finger and then put a jalapeno in the cut

Your finger doesn't have the right cells to detect spiciness.

Long term, depending on what makes it spicy, you may have a reaction if it was acidic or basic.

This. Make some jalapeƱo jam. Half way through when your eye gets an itch give it a bit of a rub.

When cutting habanero's and thai peppers, It usually lasts for 4-5 hours and feels like I've burnt my hand.
Also after washing your hands multiple times and touching your dick which happens far more than it ought to.

Wash your hands with oil next time

Really

This happened to me once, while cutting up a few carolina reapers for a stirfry.

Unfortunately once the chilli oil has soaked in, there's nothing you can do about it (as far as soap, etc. goes). I had to stay up basically all night with my hand constantly either under running water or in a bowl of ice water, since otherwise the pain was unbearable. Even though I knew at a mental level that I was completely fine and unharmed, my arm was still acting as though it had been severely burned to the point where I lost control of it (involuntary shaking and jerking).

I've had serious burns that felt far less painfull than that "fake burn".

Water only makes it worse FYI

Probably. It was good food though.

For trying to disperse the chilli oil, yeah. I tried pretty much every method I could find to clean it off but nothing worked. Oil, isopropyl alcohol, various detergents, etc. all failed.

But once the oil had soaked in, all I could do is soak in ice water to relieve the burning sensation.
