Try not to shave and if the hair bothers you try an electric razor, it’s easier on your skin. For deodorant I use a natural one from a store called meow meow tweet. I use the baking soda free one since the baking soda one gave me some irritation. I really like it, doesn’t clog my pores and does a decent job keeping the stink away. I still sweat cause it’s not an antiperspirant. But my armpits are better than when I was using regular deodorant. It’s a little expensive but lasts a long time and helps a lot so worth the price for me 🙂

Thanks everyone!!! I’m so excited to find a platform where I can connect and ask questions and not feel judged this is awesome!

Also if your skin isn’t broken or open try backing soda make a lite paste to see that works for you

Stop using the deodorant that’s what making you flare under the arms also shaving can cause irritation as well my arms were always open so I had to stop using it

Lynnette2 For me, I flare if I don’t use alcohol first and then unscented aluminum chlorhydrate. If I leave stinky sweat and BO odor that is when I get outbreaks. No sweat or odor and no outbreaks. I haven’t had an armpit boil since 2016. I guess everyone is different. Perhaps some people are sensitive to aluminum chlorhydrate but I don’t seem to be. I’m allergic to essential oils in the natural deodorants and I can’t have anything perfumy. A lot of them have baking soda and other things that damage my natural skin barrier and cause infections. Even the mineral rock is high is salt and gives me a rash, Also there is a difference between deodorant and antiperspirant. I have to use antiperspirant to stop the sweat and I don’t get outbreaks as long as it is unscented and is a spray and not a roll on. Roll ons spread germs, Everybody seems to be different in what works for them. It’s strange but that seems to be how it is I guess.
