My son is just beginning to use deodorant. We have tried several differnt brands, non-scented, he breaks out in a HUGE painful red rash each time. He is in gym class, and he NEEDS his deodorant. Any suggestions? Know of any gentle products?

Oh, that is a tough one. I had the same problem. For a while I used a deodorant rock, it was some kinda natural dodorant made with salt. It didn't cause me to break out, however it doesn't work as well as other deodorants. Now I have found that Dove works for me doesn't cause me to break out and they have an unscented one too, however I can imagine that your son wouldn't want to bring Dove to school. I had one friend who had a problem with deodorant too and got something from the pharmacy that she dabbed on that worked really well. Unfortunately I don't remember what it was but it was the active ingredient found in most deodorants. Its a very difficult situation, as I well know. Good luck to your son.

Wow that is pretty bad. I have sweatng issues too, I use a thing called DRYCLOR it works the exact same way that Mrystry 1 said in her answer,mine does have aluminium in it but it works wonders for me. I'm sure there is something out there for you that doesn't have aluminum ,don't think you have to smell!! it has nothing to do with being Italian my BF in Italian and smells so good. But I do suggest you check with the pharmacy there are some organic stuff you can use, have you tried the health stores?? There is something out there for everyone just keep looking. Have you tried baby powder? and shaving your armpits regularly so there isn't much hair, cos hair can make it smell more. I have another suggestion, have you thought about botox?? they can inject it into your arm pitts and it stops the sweating. Maybe worth a try or there is minor surgery they can do where they remove the sweat glands and that would stop your problem permantely? Good luck.

I can't use right guard, it breaks me out. I used Degree spray for a long time and it was fine. Now I use Old Spice High Endurance blue gel roll on. It never breaks me out. I have pretty sensitive skin, and I notice the trick is to not use too much at once, and also make sure I am completely dry before I put any on after getting out of shower.

Go to the Naturals section of your grocery. They have a natural deodorant spray (Cost $2.99) made from alum. I cannot remember the name.But it is packaged in a blue bottle.

Try Tom's of Maine. It's all-natural. Places like Whole Foods or The Vitamin Shoppee sells it.
Umm.. other than that.. have him just use powder.

Try baby powder. I like Amens brand better than Johnson & Johnson.
