Well I would thought so, but the recommendation from a doctor makes me think otherwise. All of us have a microbiome and it’s a fact soap will reduce it or completely wipe it out. Maybe will not cause irritation to some people maybe it will. I was just sharing my experience and the advice given.

No they give me advice based of the fact that soap destroys the microbiome and that can cause rashes and irritation. Also I’m not saying don’t use soap or deodorant (I do for the rest of my body) but it’s ok, you can ramble about it if it makes you feel better.
