Humco Gentian Violet Topical Solution 1 USP 2 oz Pack of 2

Gentian violet (1% solution in water) is still an excellent treatment for Candidaalbicans. Anti-infective for treating minor cuts, scrapes and fungus infections. Candida albicans is a fungus that may cause an infection of skin and/or mucous membranes (inside of mouth, for example) in both children and adults. In small children, this yeast is a frequent cause of white patches in the mouth (thrush), or diaper rash. When the nursing mother has a Candidal infection of the nipple, she may experience severe nipple pain, as well as deep breast pain. Please note: Gentian violet 1% in water also contains alcohol. Apparently some pharmacists are now dissolving it in glycerin, thus avoiding the use of alcohol.
