View allI'm dealing with a fungal infection, and I'm really unsure about whether it's safe to use soap in the affected areas, specifically around the groin and anal ring. What should I do?
Yes, you can use antifungal soap in the affected areas like the groin and anal ring surrounding area. You can use a soap containing ketoconazole or terbinafine. Make sure to lather the soap and leave it on the skin for a few minutes before rinsing off. Use it twice daily for best results.
