Some say bath bombs can cause urinary area infections. But I don't know if that's true. In some cases, using these bath salts can leave you feeling itchy or sore on your skin or elsewhere, which may look like an infection.
Bath bombs are a fun thing that you can put in your bathtub and they'll foam up and smell great. They often contain substances like baking soda, citric acid, and oils.
When harmful bacteria invade and multiply, an infection occurs in the area where you urinate (called a urinary tract infection). But rest assured, bath bombs are unlikely to cause urinary tract infections. However, if you have sensitive skin, your skin may become red or itchy.
If you've had a urinary tract infection in the past, it's best to avoid bath bombs and other scented products. These can block the urinary area, which then makes reinfection more likely. If you have a urinary tract infection, talk to your doctor before trying a new product.
