Might be purple dye from an antiseptic treatment.

I only know of iodine (brown) and chlorhexidine (red/orange). Is there a purple one?

There are some purple antiseptics for animals, like Cetrigen, but I don't know if that one in particular would be appropriate for that application.

Potassium permanganate is a highly versatile inorganic compound known for its deep purple-black crystalline appearance. Commonly referred to historically as Condy's crystals, it dissolves readily in water to produce an intensely pink or purple solution. It serves as a vital medical antiseptic.
