Lymph nodes removed-any recommendations for gentle deodorant

Offline KP1961 over 5 years ago

Had lymph nodes removed 5 years ago. Have not perspired really since, not really needed antiperspirant which is good as skin reacts and becomes sore.

Recently have noticed that although still not perspiring i have become very smelly under my arm despite shower everyday / clean clothes.

Any recommendations for deodorant that will be gentle on the skin but good enough to deal with whatever is going on.

thanks in anticipation

Welcome to the forum K although I'm sorry about the current problem you're contending with; it must be very frustrating.
We do have paraben free deodorant for sale through our online shop. I've also had a look through the forum and found some past mentions of the following products: Fitpit, Pitrock and Earth Conscious. Hopefully this can provide you with a good starting point but I'm sure some of our more regular members will pick up on your post soon and offer their recommendations as well.
Kind regards,
Steph, Cancer Chat Moderator

Hi
Before my mastectomy I was using a solid deoderant from Lush, it was very good, no packaging and parabens free and lasts forever you just rub it on. I've not tried it yet since my op as I'm still recovering, but it might be worth a try.
