Gentian Violet Price in Bangladesh

This shelf holds gentian violet paint, a deep purple antiseptic dye also known as crystal violet. Painted onto skin, it acts on fungi and some bacteria, and it has a long history on minor skin infections, oral thrush and infected scratches. It stains whatever it touches, so most people now use it when a doctor or nurse suggests it rather than as an everyday first-aid liquid.

Crystal Violet/Gentian Violet sits under Anti-Septics & Skin Disinfectants.

What Gentian Violet Does

The dye binds to the walls of fungal and bacterial cells and disrupts them. It acts on Candida, the yeast behind thrush and skin-fold rashes, and on some Staphylococcus bacteria. The purple patch also shows exactly where it has been applied, which helps when painting small cracks or blisters. Its use has fallen worldwide as cleaner creams arrived, and some regulators abroad have restricted it over long-term safety questions.

The listing is Gention Violet Gentian Violet Topical Solution 2% from EDCL, the government-owned Essential Drugs Company. It comes as a ready-made solution in a small bottle, dabbed on with a cotton bud.

How to Apply Gentian Violet

• Dab it onto the affected patch with a cotton bud, not a finger, and let it dry before covering.
• Protect clothes, bedding and floors; the purple mark rarely washes out of fabric.
• Keep it out of deep wounds, raw ulcers and the eyes.
• Stop and ask for advice if the skin blisters or peels, as the dye can irritate.

Safety Before Using Gentian Violet

Use inside the mouth, on a baby with thrush, or on a breastfeeding nipple should follow a doctor’s advice and last only a few days, as longer use can cause mouth ulcers. Swallowing more than a trace can upset the stomach. Thrush or a skin infection that keeps returning, spreads, or comes with fever needs medical review, since repeated thrush can point to diabetes or a weakened immune system.

Gentian Violet Price in Bangladesh

Bottle size and maker set the price, and a small bottle lasts a long time because only a thin coat goes on each time. The dye was first made in the nineteenth century as a textile colour before doctors found its antiseptic use, which explains why it clings to fabric so stubbornly.
