hi, Im trying to find out if dettol anti-bacterial soap can cause itching and irritation in the pubic area, I,m female and used this soap once before and I believe it was around then I began to feel itching and I stopped using it but not thinking about if that could of been the cause. I recently started using it again, more than a week, and I have began to experience the same itching but more extreme this time. Could this soap be the cause of this? thanks.
Hi, thanks for your question. I have read it and understand your concerns. Answer: Yes antiseptics including detail can cause itching due to the hypersensitive nature of the skin in the pubic area. So, it is better to avoid detail. If the problem is bothering you a lot then I would recommend that you see a doctor who can examine you.  There could be other causes as well as fungal infection, use of latex or the type of underwear that might be triggering a hypersensitivity reaction. So, please watch for these things as well. Hope this helps. And please feel free to ask for any further clarification.
