    My whole palm is purple/red and my arms have streaks on them. I was tye dying with koolaid for the first time and decided not to wear gloves. BIG mistake! I can't get it off for anything! I hasve tried vinegar, soap, and toothepaste to no avail.

    Try the toothpaste again with a wash cloth.

    Or shaving cream.

    I've used things like wd40 and gasoline on my skin before. But you have to wash it off really fast with something like Dawn dishwashing detergent, and then use lotion or the skin dries.

    I'll try toothepaste again before gasoline, because I have cuts on my hands and I assume it'll hurt. (I'm a wimp. :) ) Thanks for the advice.

    Wash your hands with something like Comet or Ajax cleanser. Sounds harsh, but it works. Then lotion em all up.
    You can also FastOrange hand cleaner from an auto parts store.
