• Purple staining of the skin and clothes
• mild irritation or burning at the area where it is applied
• dryness or peeling of the treated skin

Gentian violet is applied on the skin, so it generally does not interact with other medicines you swallow. However, avoid using other topical creams or ointments on the same area at the same time, as this may reduce effectiveness. If you are using any other mouth treatments, space them apart.

Store at room temperature, away from direct sunlight and heat. Keep the bottle tightly closed to prevent drying out. Store in a safe place away from children, as this dye stains everything it touches, including skin and clothes.
