Q: Is It Important to Use a Antibacterial Soap??

Hey just wondering, I have like 1-2 boils that I get every now and then but ive been suffering with these for the past 2 years. I get them in horrid places like my chin and on my nose! Painful as hell and for some reason ive never used a anti soap cause it has alot of harsh things in it and I never wanted it to worsen my skin.

Ive used black soap which is real nice so im thinkin of using cidal cause its a natural anti soap or even dettol! What do you think? Will it make any difference.

Thanx all Laughing

I have never heard of black soap, but from my ylittle bit of research it sounds like really amazing stuff. I may have to try and find me some! Thanks for the unintentional tip Wink

Well, the thing about anti bacterial soap is that after awhile the germs and stuff get immune to it. I don't think it really matters what kind of soap you use. I don't know if you are suppose to do this or not, but what about hydrogen peroxide?

Hey I just wanted to say thank you for introducing me to the concept of black soap. It is neat stuff. I got mine from nasabb online. They advertise the "real stuff" but it really seems to be working. I like it a lot. Thanks Smile
