The duration of the treatment is regulated by selectively altering the size and/or amount of soap. Other ingredients can also be added to the soap to increase the effectiveness of the antifungal agent. Furthermore, fragrance can be added to the soap to mask any unpleasant odor that may be associated with the antifungal agent or the other active ingredients.
