I used a hospital-grade silver nitrate swab to stop bleeding on a dog yesterday and got the silver nitrate on my hands. Now the stains are darkening and I'm wondering if it is possible to remove the stains with anything such as oxalic acid or tarnish remover.

I know that the stains wear off, but I am scheduled to be in a wedding on Saturday. Call me vain, but I'm looking for a quicker solution. What about iodine or sodium thiosulfate? I'm not worried about it hurting.

The stains can be removed. But it will be very painful. Don't worry they will wear off. Eventually.

The stains you got is burnt skin and the stains will disappear when burnt skin layer is removed. You can use some abrasive to remove it faster or wait few days and it will come off.

Yes, with much abrasion. Take the previous replier's advice and let it wear off. It will in time.
