I have a black Labrador who has had non stop ear infections for her entire life. She has had many vet visits, cleaners and creams, allergy pills, as well as dietary changes with nothing seeming to help for very long and sometimes not at all. It always comes back. Well, now we have moved to a different state that is much more humid, more often than where will lived before and this has exacerbated the problem. In my effort to help her, I recently happened upon a Labrador website where someone posted the recipe for this Purple Ear wash and decided to give it a try,
So far, so good. I have been just using cotton balls soaked in the solution to clean out her ears instead of pouring the solution in her ears like the directions stated because I have done that before (with other things) and liquid seems to get trapped in her ears and takes months to disappear. Anyway... some parts of her ears are actually a healthy white color again... which I haven't seen in a long time. I don't expect miracles because she has had this problem for a decade. But I am very hopeful.
As a side note, I decided to use this on my long standing on again/off again intertrigo (Ladies with large Ta-Ta's know what I am talking about lol). It has worked better than anything I have ever tried! This combined with Baza Antifungal Cream is a one-two punch.
As for staining... I accidently left some of the solution in my marble sink overnight and had two big purple splotches that wouldn't wash off... I sprayed it with a bleach shower mold/mildew cleaner and let it sit for about 5 minutes and it came right off. I've also heard of people using plain rubbing alcohol and even hydrogen peroxide to remove purple stains, just depends on the surface that is stained. My point is although it does stain anything it touches, the stains usually can be removed. The better option is to be careful how you use it to eliminate/minimize staining in the first place. For example, if I ever do decide to pour the solution directly in her ear... this will definitely be done outside on our patio where she can shake her head and let it fly without fear of it staining the entire room LOL
The solution comes in a 1 FL OZ bottle, which is a perfect size for storing in a first aid kit or medicine cabinet. The product is easy to use - simply clean and dry the affected area before applying the solution with a cotton swab or other applicator. I appreciate that the instructions recommend using the product up to three times daily, which helps to ensure proper healing and prevent infection.
I did have some concerns about staining, as gentian violet is known to discolor clothing and skin. However, I found that with careful application, I was able to avoid any unwanted staining.
Overall, I highly recommend De La Cruz Gentian Violet for anyone looking for a trusted antiseptic solution to add to their first aid kit. It's affordable, effective, and easy to use, making it a must-have product for any household. Five stars!
Now for this product specifically, at 11pm Monday I covered my whole mouth with it turning everything fully dark purple. I was scared it would never go away, by 3pm Tuesday half my tongue (in the back) was still purple, teeth were white and everything else was faded purple but not really noticeable. By Wednesday (today) I have a bright pink natural tongue with just 15% white coating on the back of tongue, I put Gentian on at 11pm Mon, Tues, Wed and I’m confident by Friday it will be completely gone!
Sad to say over the weekend, the white coating on my tongue returned!
