First off put some ice and some benadryl cream under your arms so that they stop itching, do that for a few days then, see if you can use an all natural deodrant the one that I know of is Tom's of Maine Natural
Deodorants have all kinds of bad stuff in them aluminum and magnesium and some toothpaste do to so you have to be careful what you use. Your skin absorbs everything your put on it.

Stop using axe deodorant. The stuff is known to dry up skin, causing the skin to be itchy.

You might have a rash from the reaction that needs to heal before you put more stuff on it. Try a hydrocortisone or antihistamine cream from the drug store. If that doesn't help you might have to see a dermatologist. Good luck! I know how much it can suck to have sensitive skin!

Yes, some people actually are allergic to deodorants and anti perspirants. My son is unfortunately. You may have to go thru life not using them. But not to worry, there are alternatives. Talcum powder is one. Doctors also have alternative types too.
