The DU Lounge

Last year, I purchased ladies Dove 0% aluminum and paraben free. It's Shae Butter scent (it smells really nice) and it's 72 hour deodorant.

About 3 or 4 weeks later, I had this incredible pain stabbing me in my right armpit. It was almost as wild as the time that I got stung by a yellowjacket in the same armpit. I actually took my shirt off to make sure that I wasn't being stung.


I went searching through Reddit and it's a closed discussion from 3 years ago. The title is:Under my armpits have been hurting and aching, and I'm getting paranoid it's cancer 😭 someone help. Has theirs happened to anyone else?


There were quite a few comments and responses that said this armpit pain became a problem for them in the same armpit with the same Dove deodorant that I purchased.


I stopped using the deodorant and the pain went away after a few days.


This deodorant was almost $8.


I've only been wearing it on Tuesdays and the rest of the time I wear my regular deodorant. Once the dispenser is used up, I'll never buy this stuff again. And so far wearing it only once a week hasn't been an issue. But everyday use there's some sort of reaction to it.


Be careful out there when purchasing expensive and new to you deodorants!
