Patient's question:
NoDoctor's answer:
It is recommended not to use purple medicine water. If the wound has already developed pus, it should not be further treated with purple medicine water. Because gentian violet can cause a scab to form on the surface of the wound, making it appear dry and clean, but underneath 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, do not use gentian violet on purulent wounds; instead, seek medical advice to clean the wound and adopt comprehensive treatment measures.
