Yes, after treatments, I switched to natural products- I was already limited because I am allergic to the products with aluminum. Then it seemed, anything I tried with baking soda in it, worked well for about 6 months and then I would have a reaction to that as well. I have used the Lume deodorant for over a year now, it works well- and best of all- no rash or blisters!! Win!! And it doesn't leave a hard to wash out residue in the shirt sleeve. BUT their spray pre-wash does a great job in cleaning out that residue from the other deodorants!

It is best to ask your doctor. You don't want to have another problem like possibly a allergic skin reaction. I know my body chemistry to certain personal products have changed greatly. Some deordants or antiperspirants I can not use. It drys my arm pits out to much that they start to itch.( this is what I was getting at.).
You will find what best works for you after asking your doctor.
