Can Gentian Violet Be Used For A Keloid On The Nose?
I used gentian violet on my infected nose piercing for the first time today. The keloid has been on the nose for a week now and I have been using chamomile tea bags as well, the keloid bled a little but is still there, should I continue using gentian violet?

Hello,
Gentian violet is an antiseptic and has a weak antibacterial effect. I don't think it will solve your problem. I suggest you to take an appointment with your doctor and discuss the treatment options.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
