Reducing the amount of pathogens allow the fish immune system to cope and heal itself.
These chemicals are not to be used for long bath if the fish has open wounds.
For PP, you can't really measure how much to use as it is so concentrated, mix liquid till it's a light purple solution for long baths. Mid colour for short baths.
Open wounds you can use a cotton bud and swab the wound with a slightly more concentrated solution.
Never put the crystals directly into tank. Always use a small toothpick/cotton bud to swab some crystals and mix in small container/bottle then dose to reach desired colour concentration.
ps. PP is banned in Indonesia.

Im sorry butyou said to mix PP until you get a light purple color.....Thats no accurate way of measuring out chemicals!!!at all!! Thats one of the most dangerous ways to gauge how much you have in there. If you do this your fish will die.
When measuring chemicals you must measure EXACT. And sometimes exact isnt even good enough. Thats why in lab experiments you have a "theoretical" value and the "observed" value. The theoretical is what should be seen when conditions are ideal. And people in the lab try to make situations as ideal as possible by measuring with graducated cylinders and of the like and they still dont get that close to theoretical as one would hope.
The only way you can guage by color is if you are GOD. And i highly doubt god would be on this forum reading up on how to take care of his fish..........
I dont mean to offend anyone but Bottom line is MEASURE CORRECTLY
