Help docs? why is my deodorant itchy and hurts?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
See below: It may be that you are developing an allergic reaction to the deodorant, especially if you've been using it for more than a few days. Also, make sure there are no cuts or bruises in your armpit. Be aware that changing deodorants will require your skin to get used to because of the change in the skin pH/chemistry. So, don't keep switching deodorants - stick to one type and brand that you like.
