Mercuro chrome did not burn, we called it monkey blood. Merthiolate burned like hell worse than iodine or alcohol. Both would stain the skin red. One or the other did get put cuts and scrapes. I would rather hide the wound than face Merthiolate.

Hydrogen peroxide was our treatment followed by antibiotic ointment. If no peroxide, then rubbing alcohol.
