A member asked:
Would the oats used in aveeno body soap aggravate fungal infections?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
There is no reason to suppose this could happen. The only possibility may be allergy: if someone is allergic to oats or any other ingredient in soap, and is therefore having an allergic skin reaction, that rash might be confused with a fungal infection of the skin. But even this probably is very unlikely.
