Calomel lotion is mostly missing from Wikipedia. It's briefly mentioned at [[1]]. I believe it had (has?) much wider use in medicine (and maybe cosmetics?). Chipotle (talk) 15:51, 27 September 2020 (UTC)[reply]

I guess this has been fixed with the note at the top of the article to see Calamine. Lijil (talk) 11:59, 1 May 2024 (UTC)[reply]

This article is currently very confusing - it seems to have been started as a rocks and minerals page, but most of the content is about the historical medicine called calomel. I suggest that this page is about the medicine and that we move the mineral content to Mercury(I) chloride - there is already a lot of duplication. If that is not a good idea (perhaps the term calomel really does mean something different to Mercury(I) chloride in a mineral sense? I am not an expert!) then perhaps we should have two separate articles for calomel: calomel (mineral) and calomel (medicine). Lijil (talk) 11:56, 1 May 2024 (UTC)[reply]
