Gross, I've never heard of that before. IT must be for some diease or something.

This is Gentian Violet. It has been used for fungal infections such as candida but is not much used nowadays since other less messy and more powerful options are out there. I believe it is available without a prescription.

I don't know, but I imagine it could be used for fingerpainting, if you're creative.

Yes I have heard of it.. It is for yeast infections. Grecian purple it is called.. They used that before Monistat ......... Old fashioned remedy.. A yeast infection will burn itself out in 10 days if you can stand the itching for that long. Woman use to use sitzs baths to control the itching. or warm cloths applied to the vagina area often..
