    Rash from deodorant??

    I noticed a red sore rash in my armpits today. I have been using that new rexona clinical protection stuff, but I have been using it for about 4 weeks now and everything's been fine. Why would i get a rash now? The only other thing i have changed is on a couple of occasions I have used a roll on that mum gave me, it's a natural Avon one, aluminium free etc etc. If it is so natural would it have caused the rash?
    I'm confused And irritated.

    Been using clinical protection for a number of months now without problem and I do get irritation from many things these days. I wonder if maybe a residue of the clinical protection has reacted with the Avon one?

    It could be the Rexona because it builds up over time and blocks the pores to stop you sweating.

    Hmmmm, It's not shaving rash Emma. It's weird because it's kinda all around where the actual stubble is.

    Astrid, that's what i thought, maybe a reaction. It's all I could conclude!

    Tinks, hope not. I'm liking the rexona clinical. I get sweaty at work


    Thanks ladies, i will maybe stay away from the Avon one and see if it goes away....

    Could it be a heat rash?

    Not sure, it's still there now. I was kinda hot at work today, but I tend to get sweaty easily that's why I bought the 'clinical protection'
