A member asked:

Is it bad to put baby powder under the armpits if you sweat a lot?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

No, it's not bad: It's possible there may be other powders that work better. One i usually recommend is called zeasorb. It also comes as zeasorb af, which contains an anti-yeast/anti-fungal component along with the absorbent powder.
