Gentian violet can be mixed with a white ointment--which has
zinc--(Desitin, BalmX, Triple Paste, etc)and make a GV ointment. Add it
until you have a purple ointment.
Mom's hands will become purple so she can use latex gloves or spread it on
with a swab.
It is very effective to relieve the pain and to heal the redness.
