Most women who have children know that your body odor changes during pregnancy.. I was wondering if anyone found anything that works really well for deodorant. I have switched my deodorants I dont know how many times and none of them seem to work. I have a painful lump in my right armpit but only my right. I want to find a deodorant that don`t cause me to get those swollen lumps. If u can help leave a comment.

This is gonna sound gross but my doctor told me to go a few days without any deodorant at all to allow the pore to unclog. I just washed my armpits frequently with gentle soap and water with a washcloth. After a couple of days with no deodorant, a puss filled bump came up on top of the lump and it popped open and drained in the shower. After the bump healed, I switched to deodorant only (no anti-perspirant cause that is what the doctor said is causing the clogging) and I haven't had a problem since. If it doesn't go away after a couple of days of no deodorant, then see your doctor.

dawnispregz - 85 days ago Rating: 0 (0 votes) Not too sure about the lumps, sounds like blocked hair follicles to me which will happen with sweat and moisture. The deodorant i use is 'cotton' anti perspirant by Sure.I have used Dove Fresh/Linen before and that worked for me, also when arms are lifted you can still smell the fresh smell a few hours later-which i always like. I dont use anything that smells too perfumey,make sure you buy deodorant/anti perspirant as opposed to body spray.i keep to cotton/linen/fresh smells. If you feel that even after a shower you dont feel clean enough under the arms then use some tea tree body wash, my friend went thru the same thiong and tea tree was the only thing that cleaned her and made her smell clean. Hope this has helped. x x
