Detailed Answer:
Hello!

Welcome on - Ask a Doctor - service!

Regarding your concern, I would like to explain that baking soda baths may be helpful in case a candida infection is suspected. It is generally safe and you should be comfortable while taking the bath.

It is advised using lukewarm water and carefully rinse the skin after finishing the bathing.

I recommend taking water and fresh fluid before and after bath, in order to remain well hydrated.

Hope you will find this answer helpful and enjoy the bath!

Let me know in case of any further questions.
