Do regular soaps kill fungal infections? - NO!

Do regular soaps kill fungal infections? - NO!
No, regular soap does not kill fungal infections! For treatment, antifungal soaps and over-the-counter antifungal creams are more effective at killing the fungi that cause infections like athlete's foot, ringworm, and yeast infections.
Why regular soap isn't enough
Removes, doesn't kill: Regular soap and water are effective at removing dirt, sweat, and some germs, but they don't have the active ingredients to kill fungi.
  • Fungi are resilient: Fungal spores can remain in the environment for a long time, and regular soap cannot eliminate them. 
What to use instead
Antifungal soap: These soaps are specifically formulated to kill fungi and can be used to help prevent and treat infections.
  • Antifungal creams/lotions: These are applied directly to the affected area and are a primary treatment for many fungal skin infections.

Antifungal tablets: Some more persistent or widespread infections may require oral medication prescribed by a doctor.Medicated shampoos: Certain fungal infections, like dandruff, can be treated with medicated shampoos that contain antifungal ingredients.
