Indeed! Don't want to gross you fellows out, but due to severe economic strain at one point I was showering once a week. Both the athlete's foot and jock itch I had never been able to eliminate (for 20+ years!!) with daily shower scrubs, powders and creams were immediately conquered by natural skin oils. Gone! Soaps in general have too high a pH.

Oil does not kill fungus, and soap pH is not relevant once it has rinsed away. Well, actually, a high pH would actually kill the fungus as it likes slightly acidic pH levels.

It is more likely you had two simultaneous conditions, both sweating too much in these areas without garments that did a far job of wicking away sweat, AND your body pH was probably off from the wrong diet... so I conclude that your change in lifestyle resulted in either less sweating, more breathable clothes, or a change in type or quantity of food and beverage.
