Abstract

The earliest recorded evidence of the production of soap like material dates back to around 2800BC
Antibacterial soaps are usually the first line of treatment for rashes in Nigeria) as they are advertised
to be preventive and curative for virtually every skin problem.
This article highlights the different types of cleansers, the possible side effects and the indications for
antibacterial soaps. With an increase in demand for endorsement for soaps from medical
professional bodies and associations there is an opportunity for such societies to insist that the
advertisement for such soaps or creams stick to the indications for which they have been tested for.
