Will soap free body washes still help with preventing or treating fungal infections?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
What you mean by soap free wash is not clear. Unless the material has anti-fungal properties it would not be expected to prevent or treat a fungal infection. Soap by itself has no significant effect on a body fungus.
