What kind of soap should I use during a yeast infection?
I am using Suave Moustourising Bead body wash right now in some mango scent. And I have a yeast infection. Is this a bad kind of soap to be using for dealing with a yeast infection and outer rash?
I read that it is not a good idea to use soap "down their" and that may be the reason I have one. Can you gently wash the outside area but just not get soap up in? Cause that sounds unclean to me no to wash the area in general.
soaps are pretty much the same and yes that kind is fine and yes you can wash down there but best to keep it out of the inside duchs are for inside if your doc tells you to
It wouldn’t be nice not to wash, and it is ok to wash. Just don’t use any highly perfumed soaps. Try a sensitive or unfragranced one. This will minimise irritation.
So many women complain about having oily skin in some areas. To get rid of these oily zones, what should be done? Cleanse these areas to rid every trace of oil or sebum? Many women are led to believe that the only way to get rid of oily skin is by using a harsher product. This in turn gives their skin a tight sensation. They think the tighter the skin, the better! What they are actually experiencing is extremely dried out skin. They argue that it makes their skin truly clean and to be honest, yes it makes it too clean! So clean that they have stripped all their natural oils and humectants out of their skin.
Think about this, would you wash your car with laundry detergent insisting that the stronger the detergent the cleaner the car? Of course not. Doing so would compromise the paint and it would prematurely lose it’s elasticity and shine. Only to fade sooner and flake off!
I don’t think that mango scent or any kind of scent is good for you,it doesn’t matter if you have a Yeast infection or not.
You should use Intimate shower gels that are meant for that area only.
I use Sebamed the ph is 3.8 and doesn’t contain any parfumes,this product is from Canada,I live in Europe and there are over 20 kinds of intimate shower gels where I live.I hear that you have Summer’s Eve intimate shower gel in the USA,I haven’t tried it.
You shouldn’t wash the inside of the vagina or douche,this is bad for you and it will only make things worse,only wash the outside of the vagina,only the pubic hair area.
Don’t use any soap at all - I know, how will you get clean? Just use good ole’ water. Any kind of soap, scented or not, can dry out the delicate tissues ‘down there’ and cause them to get irritated and sensitive - especially if you may have a yeast infection.
It is important to practice good hygiene by washing your private areas daily, but you’ll find that soap isn’t necessary. I know it seems odd at first, but you will find that you feel just as clean and fresh using just water. Speaking from experience on this one- lol. Hope this helps.
