You need to shower/bathe often. Actually the skin, the biggest organ of our bodies, is great at taking care of itself and washing it (especially with soap et.al) is bad if done too much.
“But(t) smell!”
Well yeah, I agree, but that doesn’t change the way our skin has evolved :P
But that’s a fungus allergy so aren’t you mostly treating it with anti-fungus medication?
(One of the proposed mechanisms for why skin becomes allergic to the malassezia yeast in the first place is that we disturb it through our washing routines but there’s no consensus on that afaik)
I’m candida overgrowth myself and too much washing with soap worsens it in my case. The human body is a wonderful thing :P
I mostly just use Ketoconazole shampoo (Nizoral) on the areas and leave it directly on without water for around five minutes. It has something to do with having oily skin, which is counter intuitive because it gets so dried out and flakes. I also believe it has to do with hydration, diet, overall stress levels, and even weather/environment. I also believe I have some kind of minor chronic inflammatory issue/ fatigue syndrome. I have considered changing my diet one thing at a time to make sure it’s not a problem with dairy or red meat.

I have seborrheic dermatitis so not washing my skin causes a rash.
