all kinds of deodorants give me itch to my underarm area. I tried hypoallergenic by Almay but it gave me itch too. ![]()
What other options are available to men like me ?
For now I spray cologne under arms on the shirt. If I spray it directly on that area I start to itch.
Re: Allergic to deodorant
You should actually go to a dermatologist. It can be something in over the counter deodorant that you're allergic too. they can either prescribe you some cream for your rash or maybe you need a prescription deodorant. In the meantime, you can put hydrocortizone cream on your rash. You can buy it in any pharmacy or drug store.
Re: Allergic to deodorant
I do not develop any rash , just a temporary itch. My doctor told me to use Baking Soda , but I forgot to ask how I make that baking soda stick to that area. Baking soda is not sticky and crystalline.
Re: Allergic to deodorant
Well, you can try using an all natural crystal roll-on. You can get it very reasonable at any drug store. Speaking of baking soda, you can stick it with a powder buff.. Someone in my family had this problem and using the powder buff helped.
Re: Allergic to deodorant
Have you tried a [thai] deodorant stone? I had one years ago, brought it back from Thailand. Give it a try.
Re: Allergic to deodorant
well, he can't go to Thailand for that.. just tell him where can he get it hehe

LOL , so true .
Roushi you r being a nerd. LOL.
Re: Allergic to deodorant
:o
If it's not available in your Pind you can buy it online.....:D
Re: Allergic to deodorant
Does that happen only with sprays or deo sticks as well?
If you’re in US, try Mitchum … buy the fragrance-free one for sensitive skin.
Re: Allergic to deodorant
Did it work ? I have to ask.
Because Maja in my pind went to Saja and said “oye saja last time your muj ( cow ) got sick what did you give him ?”
Saja went inside his home and gave Maja a couple of tablets.
Maja went home and fed those tablets to his muj which died in a few hours.
Poor Maja came back to Saja , and said what kind of goli was that my cow died after having it.
Saja said my cow died too. ![]()
( I hope you get the joke Maroush)

What spray ? Do they have deodorant sprays too ? I spray cologne under arm on my shirt and sometimes even that gives me itch. As I said I tried hypoallergenic deodorant stick by Almay but it gave me itch still.
Re: Allergic to deodorant

Please tell me you're joking.
In case you're not.... yes, they have deo sprays for men (lots of brands). Check any pharmacy or grocery store.
Whats your location, by the way?
Re: Allergic to deodorant
Yes it does work. The thing about a deodorant stone it’s made from mineral salts and potassium sulphate…so when applied, it leaves a thin mineral film on the skin to prevent bacteria (which causes the odours) from growing.
And i get the joke but i didn’t laugh so maybe i don’t get it…![]()
Re: Allergic to deodorant
No I am not joking . I never noted spray on deodorants . I live in a small pind of North Carolina . When I go to the city I would look for one.
Just kidding this pind does have CVS, Walgreen and RiteAid.
Some jokes are just for making you smile . I do not laugh at all the joke either even if I get them. So it is all good.
Thanks for your tip I will see if I can find it online or in store.
Re: Allergic to deodorant
Oh and before I forget, there’s a baking soda based deo by Arm & Hammer, its in stick as well as roll-on.
I still recommend Mitchum though, tried and tested.
Re: Allergic to deodorant
I know Walgreens has them, check there ![]()
There’s also a Tom’s deo bar soap which is awesome… http://www.amazon.com/Toms-Maine-Natural-Deodorant-Lemongrass/dp/B001EJOQ6U/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&s=hpc&qid=1285861798&sr=1-1
In case you’re wondering, I have sensitive skin issues :bummer: so there’s tons of products I’ve tried to find the right ones.
Re: Allergic to deodorant
Wow. Thanks a million for your tips . I will start with Tom deo. I bought it a couple of weeks ago but I was hesitant to use it that is why I opened this thread.
Re: Allergic to deodorant
^I'm not sure about the deo, the soap I've tried and its great... I can vouch for that..... and you're welcome :)
Re: Allergic to deodorant
their must
be something in particular you are allergic to, and most deodorants have the same ingredients so good luck finding something :D
there is one tea-tree brand...but i honestly didnt like the smell of it!
and btw, unscented will not be much different!
