Most Anti-fungal soaps contain Ketoconazole, salicylic acid and such contents. They can cause excessive dryness & irritation and dermatitis. The use of anti-fungal soaps for treatment does not show any additional benefit to the patient compared to only medications. Also the use of these soaps may promote Fungal resistance to anti-fungal medications. Please use antifungal soaps only if recommended by your dermatologist and only for the specific period advised.
