Brief Answer:
Acid borax is better.
Detailed Answer:
Hello,
Thanks for trusting us with your health concern.
Gentian violet can cause allergy in some individuals. It also causes a lot of staining of your clothes. It is better to use a tampon dipped in yogurt or acid borax suppositories for recurrent vaginal infections.
Acid borax suppositories can be inserted for a week to get best results. Then continue it twice a week for next 3 weeks. It can cause burning and an increase in vaginal discharge initially. Discontinue the use in case it causes burning.
You can combine it with clay bentonite drink.
Please feel free to discuss further. I will be glad to answer the follow up queries that you have.
Wishing you good health.
Regards.

Hello.
Thanks for writing again.
If you have already started using gentian violet and you are not allergic to it then it is best to continue using it. You can use tampons dipped in yogurt into your vagina twice a day. Be sure not to keep them inside for more than two hours. This can be used while using gentian violet.
Use the tampons for at least 7 days continuously and then twice a week for 3 weeks to have a complete relief.
Hope my answer is helpful.
