A member asked:

Why can't i take a bath without get a bacteria infection or if i use anything scented i get a foul ordor?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Try: Please try bleach bath-1/2 cup in full tub of water soak for 10 minutes. Do 2 to 3 times a week. Remember your body is a biochemical machine. For you scented products react with your body causing a bad odor instead of a good one.

Is it true that we don't need to take bath everyday? I heard something about good bacteria. What will happen if someone takes bath only once a week??
