Anybody using Right Guard xtreme sport deodorant "fresh blast" ?

Have you noticed any skin reactions like painful skin, kinda like how it feels after a sunburn quits burning, and your skin is just sore ?

Just curious :confused:
 
Everybody's different, but if you're experiencing reactions like that, I'd suggest stopping the use of that particular brand. You also might try one that isn't anti perspirant, just a deodorant.
 
Ouch ! I have treated people with this problem. Could be an individual thing - usually its the perfume component that causes problems rather than the actual antiperspirant component that your skin is sensitive to. If the irritation corresponds to pretty much exactly where you've applied the deodorant, I'd stop using it, change to one that is perfume free, hypoallergenic etc. and cross my fingers that it works out. Jason.

BTW, I work exclusively in Psychiatry. Any advice I give about dermatology, should be taken with a bucket of salt !!! :D :p
 
It's wierd, First stuff that's ever bothered me in this way. I swear my arm-pits didn't sweat for a week after I stopped using it.
 
You may lose your sensitivity after a bit of time...and then again, you might not!

I would think that if a person plugs up his arm pit sweat glands that the excess sweat has to go somewhere maybe through the groin glands, Have you noticed excess pants wetting? Its just sweat so dont worry.

if IG see's this your in for it you know? :D
 
Mark, it sounds like you 'bout fried your sweatglands! That hadda hurt! I used some back pain lotion stuff one time, LIT ME UP! Dang stuff just got hotter and hotter, back turned lobster red, and it was getting hotter, yet. Even after wife scrubbed it off, it kept burning all night. I bet it would be great stuff to turpentine a cat with, not that I would.
 
I gave up on anti-perspirants 10 or more years ago (I'll be 50 next month) and now use just a plain deordorant (Old Spice High Endurance is the best I've found to date). No more stained T-shirts, no more bouts of uncontrollable sweating. Plugging up the pores that your lymph nodes use to dump toxins from your body ain't such a hot idea. I'm convinced that there is a correlation between anti-perspirant use and breast cancer in women. Between the clogging of the lymph nodes and the exposure to still another toxin (aluminum chlorhydrate), women especially should avoid anti-perspirants.

And no, I'm NOT a doctor. I don't even play one on TV. The handle MeDoctor is play on my initials (MDS).

Shalom,

I agree, I stick to plain old deoderant. I don't touch the anti-persperant stuff because I don't like the chemicals.
 
Mark -- As a licensed Doctologist, my diagnosis is that you've suffered from pitta clognosis. You'll have to shave your armpits and apply icy-hot to them twice a day.

I'll get your bill out to you today.









:D
 
Oh Man, That hurts just thinking about it. I thought we were buds :(

Cant stand icy-hot on my skin anywhere. I've got some wussy skin. Maybe all this fu-fu is just unnatural to me. Might just need go stinkin for a while.
 
Toms of maine makes a really pleasant calendula scented doederant that is gentle and effective. I use either that or mitchum unscented anti persperant gel.
I have sensitivities to pretty much everything else :barf:

Dude: You got to put something in those armpits even if it is bull crap. The wind is coming up from the south and I can smell you from here. All the while it smelt like low tide but it is you. :eek: :p
