Hi,
Iodine can be easily removed from the skin using 'sodium Thiosulfate' (found in most school/ uni labs specifically for this purpose). Simply mix a teaspoon or so with 1/2 a cup of water and rub it on the stain.
If you don't have access to a lab, it can be bought at most pharmacies. However, you will have to ask the assistant as it will be kept behind the counter.
If you can't find any sodium thiosulfate; lemon juice or rubbing alcohol (isopropyl alcohol) and a lot of scrubbing should do the trick.
