Q: I have a staff infection on my armpit, and my doctor said I cannot use deodorant on that armpit. Is there anything I can use to not smell, aside from perfume? I'm really self conscious about showing my face outside. I do not want to cover it up with perfume though. I'd truly appreciate any advice. Thanks!

It really depends on why he doesn't want you using deodorant. My guess is that there is some type of ingredient in most, if not all, deodorants that can either slow or stop the infection's healing process or maybe make the treatment ineffective.
If the doctor is OK with it, there are a number of natural products that can be used for the same purpose as a conventional deodorant. One that I myself used for years is a crystal stick.
Although they are technically called Crystal Deodorant Sticks, these don't usually contain things like aluminum chlorohydrate, aluminum zirconium, parabens, phthalates or alcohol, all of which may be the type of stuff the doctor doesn't want in your system.
Good luck and hope you get that infection cleared up soon.
