Uses of Gention Violet 30ml

Gention Violet 30ml is a purple antiseptic paint used on the skin and inside the mouth for minor fungal infections such as thrush, and for some minor bacterial skin infections. It has been used for many years as a low-cost option, although newer antifungal treatments are now usually preferred. It is applied only to the affected area.

How Gention Violet 30ml works

Gentian violet is a dye that kills fungi, especially Candida, and some bacteria by damaging their cell structures and interfering with how they grow. It stays on the skin, giving a prolonged local effect.

Gention Violet 30ml is applied locally, and the effects you may notice include:

• Purple staining of skin, mouth and clothing
• Skin irritation

Stop using it and see a doctor if you develop mouth ulcers, blistering or broken skin where it was applied, or swelling suggesting an allergic reaction.
