We've had that issue before! It may not get restored to exactly the way it was before but we tried this technique and worked pretty well:

Actually it isn't a stain, the alcohol eats away the finish. My mom had that happen a couple of times on her dresser from being too close to it when she put on perfume. She only had dull spots on the surface thankfully and my dad fixed that somehow. She started putting her perfume bottles on a mirror and standing further away from the dresser, or going into the bathroom to apply her perfume.
I know that is distressing to you. But there are many helps for this on these different links. I hope you are pleased with the results. Good luck.

It looks like the stain has been removed by the alcohol. Sand and restain.
Try some Kiwi brown shoepolish...
All good answers; believe it or not, the shoe polish really does work. I always have some in my junk drawer. Good luck! :-)
