Answer 5

actually, the only time you should use antibacterial soap is in liquid form and when you haven't access to water.

if you use antibacterial soap all the time, you are not only killing of the bad germs, but the good germs as well.

There are more and more cases of MSRA now than that of 15 years ago, many of them are showing more and more resistant to antibiotics.

Our water system is proof that all the use of antibacterial soaps have caused a rise in waterborne illnessess too because we have upset the natural occuring bio-system.

Acne is at a higher peak too. You wash off the good bacteria on your skin and it leaves nothing behind to kill the bad bacteria.

Think about it....

Diluted vinegar in a spray bottle used in the shower works great. Half 5% common vinegar and half tap water mixed. This method is often used if someone has staph or folliculitis that has been resistant to treatment. Spritz the vinegar head to toe and don't rinse for 3 minutes then rinse off and finish your shower. This lowers the bacteria level on your skin. You can also treat specific areas of skin rather than the entire body. You can also clean your shower walls with the vinegar while waiting for the three minutes to pass. Make sure and rinse off good or you smell like vinaigrette salad dressing.

Another good option is Hibiclens but Hibiclens costs 65. a gallon and vinegar costs 3. a gallon.

Answer 7

Your doctor should prescribe or at least recommend something if the condition requires it... particularly if your are using it for more than washing specific spots or wounds.

General use of antibacterials can be detrimental in the long run for many reasons. Below is a link to an easy to read article about the dangers of overuse of these soaps. Google antibacterial soap for more links to in-depth info and scientific findings if it interests you.

Answer 8

I believe there is one that the pharmacist keeps behind the counter. I can't remember the name of it, but I've used it before. It's the same kind used when doctors scrub up for surgery. Ask your pharmacist the next time you're at the store.
