Patient's question:
NoDoctor's answer:
It is recommended not to use gentian violet. If the wound has already become purulent, gentian violet should not be applied anymore. Because gentian violet can form a scab on the surface of the wound, making it appear dry and clean, but under the dry hard scab, bacteria continue to multiply. Under the protection of the scab, bacteria may continue to spread and invade deeper, worsening the condition. Therefore, for purulent wounds, gentian violet should not be used, and instead, the wound should be cleaned by a doctor and comprehensive treatment measures should be taken.
