What does everyone wash with to avoid bacteria in hair follicles? My doctor said something like Heta.....somethin? What do you guys use? Just regular old Dial/Lever soap? What makes you squeeeky clean?

Are you talking about legs?

I use Dove bar soap.

Everything appears normal to this point.

I'll keep the path.

If your talking about legs or shaving, may I suggest:
"Question for the Trifuel women." thread. aka TGGW.

Originally, yes. Then it became something much greater.

Haha...nah, no where near a shaving thread - shaving is something I dont wanna get into, trimming yes, shaving, no. My doctor was saying that its good to wash with a strong anti-bacterial soap to avoid getting bacteria in the hair follicle, because we as triathletes have a great risk as such things as folliculitis which is simply a boil or blocked lymphnode in areas where friction is prominent.

I've never tried different soaps for it, but as I have very sensitive skin I find just making sure I shower very soon after I exercise (like sweat, stretch, shower, food) my skin stays in much better shape by getting all the sweat and dust and dirt off instead of letting it get into my pores/etc.

I use a product from my stylist that I originally started using because I found I was gaining more forehead as the stress and long nights wore on in university... it helped the hair loss and my hairline came back to normal after the stress calmed down but I still use the product as it's ecellent for clearing the pores and keeping hair folicles healthy (my Mom was a stylist so I kinda grew up beign force fed hair health tips...)

The product is called Nioxin and the shampoo is a really good deep cleaner and the conditioner is a minty, tingly one that really cools you off (it may have tea tree oil in it or something...) It's kind of pricey but it works really well if you have hair issues.

I use dove or ivory and if I find I'm breaking out (particularily on my back) I'll scrub with a lufa...

the lufa trick is good too if you ever shave or wax... my first waxing experiment turned my chest into something resembling ground beef pizza... the lufa with a mild soap really helped so I imagine it would help with your issue too.

I personally like Cetaphil for the sensitive areas, including my face. The rest of my body I use Dial soap. I also use an astringent (like Sea Breeze or Clean & Clear astringent) and baby powder......
