Am I allergic to deodorant?

Am I allergic to deodorant?

  • I am 11 and I have been using deodorant when I do sports because that's the only time when I kind of sweat. I have been using it for less than a year my first deodorant was kinda strong and my arm pits got itchy. Then I switched to a Dove sensitive skin deodorant and my arm pits are now itchy and they sometimes sting. Do you think I'm allergic? Am I too young? In a few years will I be able to use deodorant without these things happening? Please help, thanks!

  • Answer:

    You could be allergic to an ingredient in the deodorant. You can be allergic to anything. I have known a few people that were allergic to deodorants. You can try to pinpoint which ingredient you are allergic to and buy deodorants that do not contain the offending ingredient. You could just try different deodorants until you find one that works for you. Or you could go to the dermatologist and explain your problem and ask for a special deodorant (this is the most expensive option).

you could be allergic....try degree clinical protection...its probablly a little bit more expensive than most deodorants but has some type of skin moisturizing ingredient that will help prevent irritation.....do you shave your pitts yet? that could cause it 2

My cousin has the same problem. Talk to your doctor.

Hmm maybe if you sweat very little you can always use baby powder it blocks the scent and keeps you dry. If you put it on after you shave it can cause you to become irritated. The gels deodorants contain A LOT of alcohol. If non of that works search for a non allergenic kind they should have some in the deodorant Isle.

try using a deodorant without fragrance . you may just be sensitive to the fragrance

i had the same problem with some deoderants. Your skin just starts to develop an irritation. It could be because of the powder.. maybe you should try a gel deoderant or those gel sticks.. like the lady speed stick but the CLEAR ones so that they dont have powder

Get the stuff without aluminum in it.

No your not too young to use deodorant. Have you been shaving your armpits? If so, you might have razor burn. But if you haven't you should try going to the doctor or telling your parents.

No you're old enough. But I think that you should ask your doc.
