My deodorant makes me itch! Am I allergic?

 
My deodorant makes me itch like crazy! My mom said it might be the fragrance, so I tried an unscented kind but that didn’t help. Could I be allergic to it?

 

You may be. Most of the time, this kind of reaction is caused by a sensitivity to chemicals creating the scent in your stick, says Dr. Vivan W. Bucay, a dermatologist and assistant clinical professor at the University of Texas Health Science Center in San Antonio, Texas. And those labeled unscented may still feature some fragrances that’ll bother sensitive skin. So avoid that annoying itch with a hypoallergenic and fragrance-free product, like Tom’s of Maine Fragrance-Free Deodorant Stick or Almay Clear Gel Fragrance Free.

I started developing rashes under my armpits a few years ago. After doing some research I decided to switch to an all-natural, aluminum free deodorant. I experimented with a few but ultimately decided to go with Lavilin since my body responded best to that brand. I'm happy with it so far - no more rashes and long-lasting!!

Whenever I shave my armpits, they get really red and itchy. Could I be allergic? It's not a problem with my legs, though.

My armpits get sweaty and REALLY wet. Even when the day just warms up to 60 degrees! I hate it, and I have tried Degree Strength deodorant but I haven't really seen a difference. I am going for a checkup soon to the doc's, so should I ask about it ? Any advice? I hate having such wet underarms!! It's really uncomfortable and annoying! Thank u sooo much!!

Hey girl, a checkup is the perfect opportunity to ask your doc about excessive sweating.  Mabs ask if he can recommend a different deoderant/anti-perspirant that works well.  Good luck!

My hands are ALWAYS sweaty and I have no idea why. It's not like I'm always hot or nervous. But even if I'm cold...my hands are sweaty! Why? And how can I stop it.

Mod mod mod , I Took a shower on Wednesday and All of a sudden on Friday my Armpits smell really bad when i lifted them!? This has been happening ever since i became in grade seven. I Clean properly but it was Wednesday since i showered does that mean i gotta shower everyday? when i was in grade 5 i asked my dad about deodorant and he said its bad and that i don't need it cause he doesn't use it ( He doesn't smell) i don't know why he said its his body type. but in grade 5 i didn't need deodorant, does that mean i need it now? Or do i take showers every day lol ??

 

hey! I think you should get deodorant, it will definitely help the situation. Showering every day or every other day will also help.

I have really oily skin. The thing is, whenever I'm at home or outside of school, it seems fine, my skin is pale-ish and never shiny or anything. But for some reason whenever I get to school, it takes just one class period or so before my face is completely shiny, (like, if-I- touch-it-my-finger-gets-wet shiny) and really red. It's so annoying, because then I get home, wash my face, and it stays perfectly normal for hours. Do you know what could be the problem, and how can I fix it?

 

Hey pinkninja64, mhmmm maybe it's the temperature of your school that's affecting your skin. Try dabbing your face with paper towels or a small rag. Hope this helps! Xoxo Smile

My mom always gets mad at me for going through a lot of deodorant. I put it on before and after gym and when I wake up because I sweat a lot. That sounds gross, but I really don't want to smell. I keep telling her I sweat a lot, but she keeps asking so it seems like she won't take that as an answer.

 

Hey lifeunicorn, mhmm you could have overactive sweat glands. I would make it clear to her that the amount you sweat is really serious. Ask her to take you to the doctor to get a check up to see if anything is wrong. Hope this helps! Xoxo Smile

i make my own deodorant- 1/4 cup baking soda, 1/4 cup cornstarch, and 2 or 3 tablespoons of melted coconut oil. i keep it in a jar, but it gets solid so you can make it using an old deodorant bottle. it works better than any deodorant i've ever paid for!

I'm allergic to fragrances and very sensitive to scents (as in too strong of a scent and it makes me almost puke), so anything that sits on my skin has to be unscented, like lotion and deodorant. I can only use certain body washes, and I've only found one perfume that doesn't make me nauseous or itchy. I hate places like Bath and Body because it makes me miserable.

So how can I get this cute guy at school's number? I don't want to be obvious though. Thanks.

 

Hey girlie, if you have a class with him you can ask him for his number in case you need help with an assignment or forget what the homework is. That'll look like a real reason and you can always get in touch with him about other things!
