Several antifungal soaps are available to treat itching and fungal infections. These soaps work by killing the fungi that cause infections like athlete's foot, jock itch, ringworm, and yeast infections. Some common examples include:
- Abzorb Antifungal Soap: This soap effectively destroys fungal infections by killing the fungus and preventing its growth. It is used to treat fungal skin infections such as ringworm, athlete's foot, nappy rash, sweat rash, and vaginal thrush.
- Defense Antifungal Medicated Bar Soap: This soap is designed to treat common locker-room fungal infections such as athlete's foot, jock itch, and ringworm.
- Zinc Pyrithione: This compound is used to treat topical fungal infections and is applied topically as a shampoo, a solid soap-like bar, or as a non-shampoo liquid.
- Ketoconazole 2% Shampoo: This shampoo is used to treat "sun fungus" (tinea versicolor; pityriasis versicolor) and may also be used for other fungus infections.
It's important to note that these soaps are typically used for mild to moderate fungal infections. For more severe infections, a doctor may prescribe oral antifungal medications.
