Djordje Posted March 22, 2011 Share Posted March 22, 2011 Title says it all. I have recently done some work with AgNO3 but as I handled it only for a few seconds, I didn't wear gloves and afterwards I got black stains on both of my palms. How should I remove them or should just wait for them to wear of? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I would wash them very often and it'll wear off after a time... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Horza2002 Posted March 22, 2011 Share Posted March 22, 2011 Basically, you can't get it off. I wouldn't recommend using anything to remove the stain as it would simply take your skin away too. Just wait and in a few weeks/months it'l disappear. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Your skin layers are gone quickly and the stain also goes with them. Good luck! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
