Issue With Stinky Armpit!

A MyBCTeam Member asked a question 💭
Glen Allen, VA

I know this sounds crazy, but my armpit that had minimal node removal has all of a sudden decided that none of my non-aluminum deodorants are going to work. I use Native, Chrystal or Toms. Anyone else have this issue or use a different deodorant that I could try? Thanks!

I found one made by Schmidt that I liked a lot. Can't use it when I am having radiation because it has a scent, But will use it again once I am finished with chemo and radiation.

CocoPits is pretty effective. It’s definitely better than anything else I’ve tried.

I stopped using deodorant. Even Toms did not work for me. I swipe cornstarch under my armpit with a cottonball.

I use Toms. Noticed the smell when I first started using it. But now it's gone.

I had that issue, it is detoxing. Give it more time, the Chrystals work for me now. But yes, kind of gross at first.
