“He doesn’t like bathing, he hasn’t bath for over 3 years now. What kind of person is this? The smell alone is enough to judge but today whether he likes it or not, he will be given a clean bath."
Cons of bathing too little
According to Webmd, when one does not shower enough, the buildup of oils can also cause a buildup of the bacteria that causes acne. Dirt and dead skin can add to the problem by clogging pores.
In a nutshell, too little bathing could mean more pimples. The buildup of oils can cause other skin problems too, the flaking away of skin on your scalp (dandruff), and flareups of existing skin conditions like eczema.
