I still am able to use deodorant because I do not have it under my arms. I do use Clinical Strength Dove. Most people on this site do not use deodorant or use only a spray on version is what I have heard. Yes, I think it clogs the pores in my opinion.

I don't think it clogs the pores. But I know for me, some of the ingredients does irritate my lumps and does cause them to be painful. But now I use deodorant that doesn't have aluminum, parabens or fragrance. And it seems to work well for me.

I also quit using deodorant afraid it was just making matters worse but it doesn't have anything to do with how we got it. It's a deficiency or abundance of some proteins in our blood
