my skin itches very badly when i apply perfume.. is it because my skin is sensitive to the alchohol content?

Question

and some deodorant too..

Answer 1

You could be allergic to it.
I have this problem with some soaps. I cannot use generic body washes or laundry detergent or fabric softner or I break out something terrible. Try to use name brand (Secret or Degree)deodorant and see if that helps. Find one that dont cause you to itch stick with that, then stay away from the perfumes that cause you to itch. If you find one that dont cause you to itch then you will probably just have to wear that one all the time.

Answer 2

You are definitely allergic to something in perfumes. Have you tried unscented deodorant? If you still itch using that then it must be something else in it. You may want to have a skin test to see what you're allergic too, especially if you seem to be sensitive to a lot of things. My daughter has bad allergies and they found 18 different things she is allergic to. My other daughter broke out in hives quite often when she was younger but nothing showed up on her allergy test.

Answer 3

You are most likely allergic to perfume. I am allergic to several types of it. Once in the mall I was smelling the different types of perfumes and my nose started pouring blood. When I was pregnant, the smell of my husbands deodorant would make me throw up.

Answer 4

Yes ! I'll too like you. So , get those perfumes with low alcohol content or start with a small bottle, if suitable then upgrade to a bigger bottle and use this brand in future.
