My deoderent is making me itch like crazy...

[LiquidPulse]

My deoderant that contains Aluminium Chloride 20% is making me itch like crazy when i have it on.. to the point that i dont sleep the night i put it on. What can i do to eliminate or reduce the irritation?

Leave it off for a few days to allow your armpits time to recover, then apply it sparingly. I've been there and done that already- my itching got really bad.

I only use it every 3rd or 4th night though...

Are you still using it ?

I found that a 12% concentration is easier to use and seemingly just as effective. Certain-dri can be found in most pharmacies.

Thanks.. il have a look for Certain-Dri but im not sure if its availiable in NZ.. if not something 12 %

Normally with Certain-Dri...I put it on for 4 or 5 days straight at night...and take a day off. It will still irritate your underarms..just not nearly as much.

mostly it is bcause of the alcohol inside the ap? take a look to a non alcoholic antiperspirant like a antiperspirant creme -- maybe it is worth for you a trial

I used to put talc on almost straight away,this helped reduce the itching for me.

For armpits I tried every thing had ETS surgeries done got worse HH then ever now I've found Ditropan,,, 2.5mg 3 times a day maybe this will stop it all together for you please try it better than what some of us have and still are going through...

With the Aluminum Chloride antiperspirants it's fine to scratch, just not with your fingernails.

Let it dry and soak in (so you don't rub it all off) then put a shirt on and feel free to scratch the hell out of yourself. I've found as long as you've got some type of cloth between your fingers and your underarms scratching won't irritate it.
