Do You Wear Deodorant Or Antiperspirant-deodorant?

A myHIVteam Member asked a question 💭
Edmore, MI

I sweat bad. I need an antiperspirant-deodorant. It seems like when I just wear deodorant my underarms are on fire. I've never had problems with deodorant until after experiencing antiantiperspirant-deodorant.
Has anyone else ever had deodorant issues after changing back to an older brand or had issues with deodorant because of your meds?

I’ve found that cysts and rashes occur when I use regular deodorant with aluminum. I have found using natural deodorants without parabens or aluminum work great. Tom’s makes some great natural aluminum free products.

I went to the pharmacy and asked the clerk for the ball kind of deodarant. The lady replied:
We only have the kind for under your arms.
