Deodorant makes my armpits itchy?
hi i used to get that too its because you have sensitive skin. look for a deoderant that says sensitive skin on the bottle and also you could try moisturising your armpits with something like sorbelene to get rid of irritation.
Deodorant BURNS after shaving armpits!?
I tried putting some on after my shower and it burned and I'm screaming saying 'F*CK, F*CK!' I had to get a towel and wipe it off. It was Lynx, btw... I'm a girl but I like Lynx! Ha! Will I have to wait for the hairs to grow back to be able to wear deodorant (because maybe the deodorant went into the holes)? Or is there a special type of non-burning-after-shaving deodorant?
WHY is my deodorant making me ITCH??
You know you're a lady when all you want to do is sit there and scratch your armpits. But seriously- I have tried a lot of deodorants and I always end up with the same freaking rash. I've gotten a rash so horrid before it went from my chest to down the middle of my arms -- EW! And the pain..! I have pretty sensitive skin... The only deodorant I can use is Dove's deodorant for sensitive skin, but...(it's silly I know) I don't like the fragrance. So I've been running everywhere (with itchy pits) looking for a skin-friendly deodorant. Btw; I heard somewhere that most deodorants are really harsh because they have small deposits of.. mercury in them, or something like that. I heard that most deodorants had tiny bits of that, which is used as an anti-perspirant because it clogs the skin. I guess most skins can handle it.. but my skin is wimpy. :( Do you know of a more skin-friendly deodorant I could try? Preferably one that smells nice, of course.
Why do my armpits hurt if I don't wear deodorant?
Actually it's my wife that's having this problem. Her arm pits hurt unless she plys on the deodorant. She has to apply it several times a day as well. She's tried all kinds of deodorants as well and nothing helps. We do live in a often very humid place and we came from a place with no humidity (lived there 35+ years) but even when it's not humid she has to wear it. I've seen questions for those who say it's the deo that's hurting but hers is the opposite. She has to wear it and it has to be thick and reapplied several times a day. Anyone else have this problem or and suggestions as to why it's happening. She did get poison ivy in one arm pit and that seem to start the problem but now it's in both and she only had it in the one pit. She's always saying it hurts so much if her deodorant breaks down while we are out so she often carries some with her now. I just would like some suggestions as to why she's having so much pain.
Deodorant sticks irritanting and making armpits itch?
For now, try your best to limit your deodorant use until your skin resolves. Obviously you don't want to smell but try to limit how much and how often you use it for now. Increase showers if you must and use non-fragranced soaps or oatmeal soap like Aveeno for now. Also, you should always make sure you are washing off the product completely, regardless if you are having a reaction or not. Leaving on a product and allowing it to build-up can also cause a reaction, but not necessarily because you are sensitive to the product. Once the skin is better, then you can try different things so you can find out what is ok to use and what will make things worse again. You may have to try it for a week or so to be fully sure if there is going to be a reaction or not. Try a different brand. You can also try a spray instead of a stick. Try a clear stick instead of a white stick. Also, trying a non-fragranced variety may help. Not every single ingredient is listed and you may not necessarily be allergic or sensitive to only the active ingredients. A common inactive ingredient listed in many hygiene and personal products is "fragrance" or sometimes called parfum. It is not a specific ingredient and is different from brand to brand and from product to product but it simply refers to a non-specific blend of chemicals that is added for a particular scent. Specifics are not listed to protect company knowledge and property from other companies who may steal the info/product and reproduce the same (possibly better selling) scent for themselves. Kind of like the secret formula to Coca-Cola flavor. Many will imitate, but no one knows the recipe to recreate it exactly. Fragrance is essentially a wild card ingredient that you have no idea what it could be exactly and can easily be a source of sensitivity or reaction.
Itchy rash under armpits?
So I started using Tussy Cream Deodorant which I LOVE!!! Dove, Secret & other brands would fail me & the natural deodorants I tried irritated me & DID NOT work at all. But suprisingly this Tussy(been around since the 40's) works amazing. However... it's the fourth day & I now have an itchy rash under my pits. But I don't want to stop using it. Would applying Cortizone-10 b4 the Tussy Deo help stop the itching?
