Keep that part clean. 1 Clean your body with an antibacterial cleaning solution. Alternatively, try acne treatment to reduce the amount of bacteria on your skin. 2 Use the bleach bath. Mix about 1/2 cup of bleach with the water in the tub. Soak the body (not the head) for 5-10 minutes. Rinse with lukewarm water and tap the skin to dry.
