How do you remove permanant marker from skin?

Question

My daughter colored herself with permanant marker. Soap and water isn't working. Do I just wait it out? Won't it fade in a few days?

Answer 1

Keep soaping it, and yes, it will fade with time, more baths, etc.

Answer 2

The easiest and quickest way to remove permanent ink from skin is with a spray on, mist-style sunscreen. Just spray it on the spot to be removed and then take a dry cloth or paper towel and wipe it away. If it is not removed completely the first time, repeat and all will be well.

Answer 3

yes it'll fade. but also, you can go get some axe body spray. i went to military school where we had to label everything with permanent marker. when a label was faded, we'd re-label it. first we'd use the axe body spray to take of the old permanent marker. kinda scary that dudes put that stuff on, on a daily basis.

Answer 4

Nail polish remover will do the trick, but it might irritate her skin, so try a little bit first, and follow up with a good cream to stop the redness the acetone will cause.

Answer 5

Yes, it will fade. Once in chemistry class I spilled some bromide on my finger and when it dried it looked like poop. It faded in about a week.

Answer 6

It will fade but if you want it off sooner, try using rubbing alcohol (isopropyl alcohol) . I've done that before and it works.

Answer 7

Don't worry- it will come off. try rubbing alcohol, and if that doesn't work, more soap and water. and don't worry, it WILL fade eventually.

Answer 8

Answer 9

Answer 10

Paint thinner.
