I don't know why you had hives, but I'm pretty sure it wasn't the antiperspirant. I agree with the dermatologist that Drysol makes sense. I really think you are risking nothing by trying it. And it is true that practically all antiperspirants containing aluminum chloride.
As to Zoloft withdrawal, I doubt any connection. Sweating begins at different times in different people, for no special reason. No need to suffer with it, though.
Best.

I have a very light complexion, and I have run into this problem with dark spots from acne and eczema. I am in the process of trying to improve my appearance, but I don't want to do anything drastic such as peels and stuff. I just really would like to lighten the dark areas up that were left behind by the eczema and acne.
Any suggestion I feels as if I look five years older than I am. Please help.
