Question

I'm dealing with a ringworm issue on my skin and I'm a bit confused about whether it's okay to use regular soap, like Dettol, on it. Last time I went to the doctor, I remember being told not to use soap there, but I'm not sure if they meant all soap or just some. They prescribed KZ soap before, so I'm wondering if that's the only thing I should be using or if it's okay to use other soaps. What would you recommend?
