Deodorant irritation... need suggestions

[KarrieP]

I am 15 weeks and a few days have never had any issues with my 2 previous pregnancies but for the past 2 weeks my skin has been super irritated from deodorant.  I have tried using Dove and Secret but it's still red. Any ideas on what else I can try? Or has this happened to anyone else? I even thought it was maybe my shaving cream but switched that as well.

You may have built up an allergy to aluminum. that's what happened to me. mine was all sorts of metals so I had to switch earrings and pay close attention to ingredients in deodorants. try using diaper rash cream on irritated spot for a couple days before switching brands

Use a medicated deoderant... its usually a cream/powder blend. Sold in a box, with all the other deoderants, its just clinical strength.  Helps prevent irritation and break outs.

I have used mitchum unscented clear gel deoderant for years and works great for me! Just make sure you aren't sleeping with deoderant on because it can irritate the skin w/any kind of deoderant. Every night before going to bed I also apply 100% aloe vera gel on my underarms and in the morning they're super soft and not irritated. Hope this helps!!
Oh I also wax my own underarms with sally hansen pre waxed strips, I used to shave awhile back but stopped since it was making my underarms dark and very dry.

You may need to stop using any deodorant for a few days to let the irritation clear up. I had to do that then I started using secret clinical strength sensitive skin. It's amazing.

I'm in Australia and I use one called a crystal deodorant. It's a mineral crystal that you wet the end of and use like a roll one. It cost about $10 but last a long long time and its all natural, plus it works great.

I use dove for sensitive skin and it works my skin use to get irritated too with anything that had a scent

I use all natural deodorant,  the best one I've found rhay actually works and doesn't irritate is moo goo.
