Itchy Underarms... ARGH!!!!!

[Danielle_NZ]

Okay so my last pregnancy for some reason the pretty spray bottle with the yellow lid looked like a good choice over my normal blue lidded deodorant so I brought a different scent and BAM!!!!!!! under arms got super itch... gave it a few days with Bepanthen instead of deodorant... it settled down eventually and I went back to the blue lid... please note that the ingredients on both of these cans are the same

I tried the sensitive option in this range but that again caused itching so back to the blue lid (original)... and I stuck to it... until... two weeks ago ARGH!

My blue lidded deodorant ran out, only had a yellow one around (no idea why) used it as shopping for new one wasn't possible for a week... and BAM itchy armpits... hate myself for doing it... then on with the Bepanthen (not as affective this time) itchiness lasts over 5 days... go to put on new blue lidded deodorant and this time it's now itchy!!!!!

Bepanthen isn't working very well.... ice cold packs under the arms seem to sooth it while in contact... there never has been anything to "show" the doctor, no rash, nothing raised, they look normal...

I'm outta my wits end with this itch... I stopped using the deodorant the moment it started and I'm now on day two after trying the blue lidded on... I don't know what to do any more :-(

Anyone with any suggestions

try MooGoo deodorant - I had the underarm itch & since switching to MooGoo it is no more!

Thanks Snowy Love... brought it yesterday... put it on this morning after my shower and again this evening after my shower and so far... so good... (please don't jinx it lol)

It says on the bottle to use it on wet skin, is this important?

I can't use spray deodorant at all because it makes me itchy.

I actually was thinking about that reason this afternoon... maybe it's the spray???

Was going to suggest the moogoo as well... if for any reason you have a problem with it, you can buy crystal sticks from most health shops and they work well.

In terms of the spray, hubby is allergic to all sprays, no matter what the ingredients, i think it's something in the aerosol or packaging?

I had forgot that it said put on wet skin, I've been using it for a few months putting it on dry so i'd say no, it doesn't matter. Might try tomorrow & see if I notice any difference.

I've been having the same. INSANE itchy. Red and raw.

Changed to roll-on for a few days and it cleared up. The humidity didn't help.

Use rexona hypoallergenic now (rexona is my preferred brand anyway)...anything else and the itchy comes back.

I use Mitcham roll on and have never had any issues.
