How do you get iodine off your skin? I tried the soap and water thing, multiple times. Wore a sock to bed to see if it would like rub off during the night, but no.

I feel/look like I've had an experience with self tan and its not good :p

    It depends on where on your skin it is. But your best bet is to put vasoline on it then cover with a sock over night because then the warm and vasoline raises the iodine to the surface and is easier to wash the next day.
    Other than that I've no idea......

    I think you more or less just need to let it wear off. That or soaking you hand might help. Where'd the Iodine come from anyhow?

    Its on my foot from having a mini surgery yesterday. Even though its one toe they colored my entire foot! And now I have to wear sandals cuz I can't fit into shoes so I'm at work looking like a dork. So whats this ethonol (cuz i'm dorky and retarded) Is it just something you can buy otc? What other products would you assume it to be near in the store :p (As I coudln't bear to waste any vodka :p )
