If you have eaten chili and your mouth is too hot, then the best neutralizer is to use dairy products.
The molecule that causes the "heat" is Capsaicin.
Capsaicin selectively binds to a protein known as TRPV1 that resides on the membranes of pain and heat sensing neurons and is NOT washed off by water.
However the constituents in dairy (milk, cheese, yogurt etc) do have the property of displacing the Capsaicin.
However, the compound is not readily digested and may cause stomach cramps and a marked after burn on exit.
If the problem is external an oil based product followed by washing with a detergent is a good way to cleanse the affected area.

I made a recipe for scallops ina chili cream sauce and there is too much chili powder in it. How do I cut the heat?
I would add more cream or cooling ingredients to the recipe. You can either just add additional ingredients, or to maintain the same texture, consistency, and taste (minus the excess heat), you can "double the recipe", but not add any additional chili powder. You can almost always refrigerate/freeze leftovers, give them to a friend, or invite an additional guest for dinner. In future explorations of this recipe, I would recommend starting with a very small amount of chili powder and tasting periodically as you cook. It is far easier to add more heat than take it away. Also, if you are worried about pleasing people with different tolerances in heat, it is advisable to use less chili powder in the recipe and offer it on the table as an additive for anyone who likes their food a little hotter.
