Get out in the sun, but don't use soap on the areas exposed.

    Menta is not alone, I am a big fan of VD3. Thought I had read it all but this is new to me: It is produced in the outer, fatty layers of the skin, but takes 24 hours to be absorbed.

    So if you spend an hour gardening, when you shower soap the crack, sack and armpits but let the water cleanse the sweat off what had been the exposed skin.

    From my service days when we thoroughly soaped between our toes but got tinea anyway to later days when I suffered repeated bouts of dermatitis I have learned to distrust the average bath soap. The less you use the better. We are not naturally smelly, we don't need to deodorise every nook and cranny, our skin bacteria are efficient at destroying smelly fungi.
