So i done the experiment with an extra careful. However i still manage to get the dark stain on my skin and also cloths.Is there anyway I can get rid of it?

Answer:

The silver on your skin will come off in time as your own skin is shed. If you are embarrassed at the way it makes your skin look, get a nail file or emery board and *gently* scratch it off the surface of your skin. Your clothes are pretty much ruined, although it depends on the type of fabric. Fibres like polyester, nylon etc will be wrecked.
