Many reasons: To minimize itching take a very short showers and only use soap in your armpits and your private parts. The rest of your body will be cleaned by the soap as it falls down your skin. You also need to use a cream or ointment moisturizer on your body before you go to bed. If you are staying home during the weekend skip today's taking a shower. Antibacterial soap will just make your itching worse.
