So last night I went out to the bar and as usual once you pay the entrance fee they give you a stamp to show you’ve already paid. I always put it below my palm on my wrist. Well this morning when I was taking a shower and was doing the usual by trying to rub it off with my hand, but that way always leaves some ink behind that will come off over the next couple days. I noticed I had left a Mr clean magic eraser in the shower from cleaning it the day prior and thought, “hey, that’ll get all the ink off quickly” and in my defence, it did remove all the ink with a bit of scrubbing and I thought I was a genius. Well a few minutes after getting out of the shower I felt a stinging pain on my wrist and when I looked, a bright red rash had appeared that hurts to touch. I tried putting lotion on it but hours later it’s still very red, the skin is raised and anything that touches it stings.
TL;DR don’t clean your skin with a magic eraser, it’ll leave a painful rash

I’ve done this, so you aren’t the only one to learn the hard way to not do this 😂
Yeah, that melamine works because it’s an ultrafine abrasive. Owie.
This should be cross-posted to LPT because I was for sure going to eventually try this.
That’s not a rash. You sanded off the layer of skin that had been dyed by the bar stamp.
In your defence, if the packaging says multi surface or works on all surfaces then skin is technically a surface 😂😂
I mean, magic erasers are basically fine sandpaper. Soooo you just sanded your hand.
You sandpapered your skin off.
oil or bar soap will get any ink off your skin if you use a scrubbing glove or even a handful of dalt mixed with it if you have no other exfoliator. Olive oil and salt mixed together. will get spray paint off your hands too
Most people don’t realize magic erasers are like fine sandpaper
There are two types of people in this world, those who have found out magic eraser is super fine sandpaper the hard way, and those who will.
Exfoliator and a washclotch.
If it’ll get hair dye out of my skin, it’ll get a bar stamp off.
So not only did you sand off your skin, you did it with the same thing you previously used to clean your shower.
There’s a reason nobody stuffs a pair of these in a latex glove.
My oldest uncle on my mom’s side had really bad acne as a teen the youngest uncle and my mom didn’t want that so they found sandpaper to scrub their faces. They were 10 and 11. But they never had acne! lol. Give it a few days OP the pain will subside.
It puts lotion on it’s skin
I still remember watching an episode of something like my strange addiction and a dude using it to wash his face all the time. So bad for your skin.
