Two questions:

Can anyone tell me how gentian violet treats nipple yeast - the actual
mechanism how it works; not how to use it.

Is anyone familiar with the new "colorless" gentian violet? I've heard of it
indirectly but don't know what it really is or if it is effective against
nipple yeast - isn't it the dye itself that is antifungal?

Any info would be appreciated. Thankyou,
