Deodorant alternatives?
by Windy
I stopped using deodorant and began using one of the crystals (these are mineral salts that prevent bacteria from growing, thus stopping odors from happening). After using the crystal for a few weeks the cysts went away. Just recently I tried a test to see if I could once again use deodorant. I used it for a couple of days before I noticed a soreness in the area, and within a couple of weeks the cysts were back- one under each arm. It's very irritating to me because although the crystals help in controlling odor, they aren't that wonderful and don't stop perspiration at all. I know there are shots available that can control perspiration but I don't want to go that drastic. Has anyone else out there experienced anything like this? Any suggestions on alternatives? I have tried both Arrid Extra Dry and Secret and seem to have the trouble with both. I'm thinking it's probably a reaction to the aluminum but I don't see any regular deodorant/antiperspirants without the aluminum in them. I'd like to hear if this is a common problem and also what I could try to help the problem. Thanks!
