Just to update all of those who offered suggestions. I tried a tip I found on the Hints and Tips website mentioned, one using aspirin.
Sorry to say it did not work. BUT - it did not damage the silk or affect the colour. I had left the stain for some time which may not have helped. And the stain may have deodorant mixed in with it as well, which again may not have helped. Thanks to everyone for their suggestions.
