Question 1

Can you use this on your tounge?

Accepted Answer

I have suffered with thrush for the past 3 yrs resulting from from chemo treatments~ this is the only thing that has worked for me.... When I begin to notice thrush symptoms returning, I take a qtip dipped in the bottle and dab directly on my tongue~usually within 1-2 days it has cleared up and the sensitivity on my tongue has gone away! Be sure to let it dry as much as possible (I just stick out my tongue for a few seconds) as it will stain anything it touches, lips, gums etc., my tongue is usually only purple for a day or so , but it’s totally worth it for me!

Question 2

When is the expiration date?

Accepted Answer

It should be on the packaging

Question 3

Is Genteal Violet good for fungus?

Accepted Answer

Yes, Gentian violet is an antiseptic dye used to treat fungal infections of the skin (e.g., ringworm, athlete's foot). It also has weak antibacterial effects and may be used on minor cuts and scrapes to prevent infection. Careful though cause it stains big time. Even spilled some in the sink & it stained it, was difficult to get off. See WEB MD for more info on Gentian Violet, uses. Good Luck!

Question 4

I bought a little bottle with red writing. It was empty. There was no leakage. What's goin on please ?

Accepted Answer

Complain to the seller - they should replace without question or return.  If the label hasn't been purpled, then there was nothing in the bottle to start with.  If you're of a curious mind, pour a teaspoon of rubbing alcohol into the bottle, close it,  shake it around, and see if the alcohol comes back out purple - if it does, there was once gentian violet solution in the bottle but it got removed very tidily.  How?  Can't imagine.  Since it stains memorably, do your experiment outdoors on grass, or else over the plastic lining of a wastebasket - you do NOT want it on a countertop or within any bathroom fixtures!  Put a bread bag over each hand before you begin so you don't risk purple hangnails.
