Is Bathing Twice A Week Hygienic?
I m trying to convince my teen son he should shower about every 48 hours . His mom and stepdad are having him use deoderant twice daily but only having him bathe two times per week. Its irresponsible and am hoping to get expert advice to my son so he isn t getting mixed ideas. And for his well being of course. Thank you Dr.

Hi,
It is better to take a bath every day. However, the bath can be taken once in 2 days too. If the duration of taking bath is more than that, it may give way to contacting certain skin related problems.
Hence, it would be ideal and consider to take a bath every day. Maintaining good personal hygiene should be the top priority to maintain a healthy lifestyle.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
