We called it mercurochrome too......possible its a region thing....
We had both mercurochrome and merthiolate. They looked similar, but there was definitely a difference. Merthioliolate hurt more than the injury it treated, mercurochrome didn't hurt much at all. Given the choice, I opted for mercurochrome and I was very careful to check the label before putting it on.
Of course, merthiolate must have worked better, because it hurt so much more.
Besides cuts and scrapes, my mother treated my sore throat by swabbing it with merthiolate on a cotton ball.
