Immediately blot area with cold water. Heat sets the stain.

I must be holding my mouth wrong .lol
Have you tried Dawn dish soap? Because it’s designed to loosen food, it should help dissolve & break down blood stains. I’ve used it to remove blood stains from carpet with 100% success. Good Luck!

Thimbles will help prevent future pokes.

Peroxide removes blood stains. Let it foam up, then blot it. Repeat if necessary.
Is it the same as hydrogen Peroxide
Yes, use (hydrogen) peroxide. Also, I've always found that cold water sets blood stains. I use fairly warm water and Dawn dish soap to remove blood from items that can be dealt with in the sink. I've also used peroxide on my light gray carpet - took out the stain and did not bleach it but do check it somewhere inconspicuous first. 😎
