Could anti perspiration deodorant cause cancer?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
No: While deodorants/antiperspirants that contain/aluminum have been associated with a number of conditions, cancer has not been one. When applied to the armpit, skin and sweat glands could be effected but cancer from deodorants have never been reported.
