Can you bleach isolated stains on a colored garment?

I've got two colored dresses with small stains on a white section of the dress only. I've tried oxyclean and sunlight and shout gel etc. The stains are small. Could I dab bleach on the stains with a q-tip or something or would it ruin the colored parts of the dress when I had to wash it afterwards?

I have. I used the q-tip method, & it worked perfectly. Just be sure you don't over-saturate to the point that the wet spot spreads into the colored area.

One is an old strawberry stain and I don't know what the other one is. It started out grey, like an iron mark, but turned brown when I treated it,

I've done it with a Q-tip too, with just a little diluted bleach on the spot

Don't they sell bleach pens for this purpose?

Geniuses! All of you! The brown stain disappeared instantly. I didn't have to do the strawberry stain because incouldnt find it. I guess the oxyclean worked on that one.
