my mother never used that stuff. but i often would just walk around all day with a crusty graze.

yeah, mercurochrome leaves an orangish color, where iodine is more of a brown. potassium dichromate is one of the prettiest, but kinda toxic oxidisers you can play with in chemistry. i used an image of it in a web dev project when i was in computer college in 2003:

yeah, usually with me if it needed anything more (she was a nurse and knew her hygiene very well) than a clean, which it usually didn't, she'd clean it and then put on some "Savlon", gauze and micropore/bandage/whatever. my mother was probably a really good nurse. i'd probably make a good nurse too, except i've got zero needle phobia and quite high pain tolerance so i might not be as sympathetic to a crybaby lol
