I regularly have reactions to deodorants. Strangely enough, not to all of them, and some deodorants sold as being hypo-allergenic make my armpits itch. I get patches similar to eczema that go away after 3-4 days but this means I can’t use anything. I have even purchased deodorants at the druggist, alcohol-free, without aluminum salts (I think!?), scentless, etc. but that still make me react. And yet, other quite basic ones suit me fine. The reaction often appears after 2-3 days of use. What can I do to avoid these reactions? Are there any natural alternatives?
