Hello....I ahve a question for anyone out
there. I have itchy armpits and I don't
know what's causing it, any ideas? I
have tried switching deodorant brands even
though I have been using the same on for
like 2 years! There are no bumps or
rash. I am allergic to sulfates like in
bodywashes and shampoos, am I missing
something?
I f you have any ideas thanks!

Itchy Armpits

I have the same problem! I have always
used secret deoderant and have not tried
to switch yet. What is your age? I am
35 year old female. It drives me nuts
and have never had this happen until last
4 or 5 months.

I am 26 and I was using degree for a long
time, now i've switched to secret since
the itch but it hasn't gone away?! Maybe
we are just becoming more sensitive to
perfumes and chemicals?

Well I have looked some things up and
found that it could be a kind of fungus or
yeast infection (candida) I am not sure of
spelling. Its common with women and
possibly something that does not go away
on its own. Natural remedies (which I
prefer) is vaseline believe it or not.
Others too, but can't recall the names.
I also found that the expensive creams
applied twice daily are supposed to do the
trick. This would be the same cream that
is used for athlete foot. Yuck! Never
had that before so not sure what to buy!
I think i'll try vaseline first. I'll let
you know how it turns out!

God! Dont' use deoderant! There is so
much allumium in it that could cause
breast cancer! I wish more people would

that I bought at my heath store . It
works great! And it lasts for years

Well, it could be just like hair dye. I
know I was using dye for a good year or
so, 2 times a month, and only began having
allergic reactions to it the last two
times I used it. I agree with mamabravo
that natural deodorants are the way to go,
and they smell just as nice :)

Armpit Rash

:wink:
i've tried deodorants only, and they don't
take the armpit stink away. I've tried
anti-perspirants, but I know how bad
aluminium is, so I stopped using them. I
then tried crystal rock liquid deodorant
with potassium alum in it. They claim
that the alum is different than aluminum,
but guess what, I was still irritated with
itch and rash under my arms. I give up.

I have some sort of unbelievably itchy
rash underneath my right arm, and it's
been there for two months or so now. I
put hydrocortisone on it, i've tried
actual prescribed anti fungal creams, i've
used hydrogen peroxide, and I tried iodine
which felt like it was setting my skin on
fire.. Nothing.. Nothing.. Works for it
so far. It's a weird red blotch with
other little red dots below it, and as of
yet it hasn't spread to other parts of my
body.. Even though i've used the same
deodorant for both arms. It's not only
gotten to where it hurts, but it's also
very dry. I dunno what to do for it..

Bumps

I have been battling bumps for a year now.
They are red and pimple-like some times
itchy and painful. I am 37 and had a
baby a year ago when this started. First
I thought it was abug bite and tried
goldbond for a while. The excess sweat
from working out combined with
antipersperants and deoderants may have
clogged my pores making worse. Now they
are returning so I have stopped shaving,
quit antipersperants and deoderants. Now
using "natural" deoderant (spray on
mineral salts), dyefree laundry detergent,
sensitive skin dove for soap ( I may try
dial antibacterial). Seems to be getting
better. I have been going crazy for
ayear and hope this works.

Hello all ... The answer to everyone's
question is most likely candida ... It
has many symptoms:
fatigue and muscle weakness
skin rashes / itching / hives
spaced out / brain fog
concentration problems
chemical sensitivities
poor memory
food cravings
stomach pain
bloating
arthritis
joint pain
thrush (fuzzy / furry tongue)
low libido...?
I think I have finally figured out what
has been ailing me for years ... After
the doctor has told me there is nothing
wrong. My Dr. Told me my joint pain was
either in my head or I needed to lose
weight. I have been eating right and
exercising and I can't seem to lose the
weight. Now that I am pretty sure that I
know what is wrong ... I am going to be
on the road to recovery ... Hope this
info help others.

You may just be sensitive to the
fragrance, dyes or other irritants they
put in deodorants. If you've never had a
problem with things until deodorants then
I'd make the switch to what works for you
and just stick with that.

Hey. I have gotten rashes in my armpits
from deodorant since I was 16. I tried
gels and solids and it's all the same.
Fortunately Axe works as a cologne and a
deodorizer. I pretty much just spray it on
my chest region. My girlfriend of almost
two years loves it so it kind of worked
out nicely. Using soap in my armpits in
the shower can also give me a reaction.
Now for the weird part. I drank for the
first time last week (and again last
night, beer both times) and both times I
have had the same reaction that I get from
deodorants. Has this happened to any of
you? I tried looking up the beer
ingredients online so I could compare with
the ingredients found in most deodorants
but surprisingly I couldn't find the
ingredients for the beer.
