how to remove dandelion stain from skin?

I noticed this funny "fungus-like rash" on one of my toddler's calves and one forearm.

I asked my doctor what it was he said probably some kind of eczema and just keep and eye on it.

the other day when picking dandelion heads....I then saw the same thing appear on me.

Tada yes it is a dandelion juice stain. Silly doctor.

HOW DO I REMOVE IT!!!

Just looking at it creeps me out...even though I know it is not a "fungus-like rash."

THANK YOU

    Baking soda and soap. Rub it on your skin together and with water of coarse. You can also use lotion with the baking soda and peroxide. Soak a nice warm cloth and rub it off. Yes I also remember my own skin getting those stains. Then use some calamine lotion after to sooth the skin again after all the rubbing. Sometimes the stain takes a few times to totally get the stain off. But always put the calamine lotion on after working the stain off.

    Dandelion For Skin

    Remove dandelion stains as quickly as possible and while the stains are still fresh because dandelion sap can be difficult to remove.

    Things You'll Need:

    -Sodiumper carbonatee

    -Enzyme pretreat product

    -Lemon juice

    -Towel

    -Laundry detergent

    Step 1 Mix sodium percarbonate with hot water to form enough thick paste to work into the stained area. Lay the clothing out on the bath towel and rub the sodium percarbonate into the stain until you begin to see the stains lift. Leave the paste on the stain for 15 minutes and then rinse the fabric with warm water.

    Step 2 Place the clothing in the washing machine and set the machine to a warm-water cycle. Add the appropriate amount of laundry detergent to the wash load and start the washing machine.

    Step 3 Check for dandelion stains when you remove the clothing from the washing machine. If stains persist, continue to the next step.

    Step 4A pply an enzyme pretreat product to the stained area and allow it to sit on the stain for five to 10 minutes.

    Step 5 Wash the clothing again in the washing machine using the same method as you used previously.

    Step 6 Assess the dandelion stains to see if they remain in the clothing. If the stains are gone, dry the clothing according to the recommended care for the clothing. If the stains persist, proceed with the next step.

    Step 7 Lay the clothing out on the bath towel. Saturate the dandelion stain area with lemon juice. Place the garment outside in natural sunlight, if possible. Leave the clothing outside for up to one hour.

    Step 8 Wash the garment a final time in the washing machine. Dry the clothing in the dryer if the stain is gone.
