Could I Have an Infection?
I think I could have an infection in my underarms. Lately, since it's been summer, I can't fall asleep at night because of the irritation in my armpits.
I use "Certain Dri" night deodorant, which has always caused an irritation. The label said stop use if irritation or rash occurs, and I've always had an irritation/rash there, but never too bad. However, despite this I continued to use it because it was the only thing that stopped my sweating. Its pretty wierd, because now that its summer, my arm pits feel really itchy when I'm trying to go to sleep (Certain Dri is a night deodorant, which while you sleep, it shrinks the pores to limit prespiration). This past week, its been HORRIBLE, and every morning when I wake up, my underarms are so sensitive I can barely move my arms because ottherwise it sort of "chafes" (sp?) but in my armpit area.
It keeps me awake every night for about 2 hours, and then causes me pain in the morning. I don't think that I can stop using it though, because its summer and I hang out with a lot of boyyss =]
SO PLEAASE help me I have no idea what to do!

Okay trust me on this STOP USING IT. If theres anyone with a sweating problem, it's me. Ask Bexers haha. Mine is sooooo bad. I'm 15/f and I've had a severe sweating problem under the arms sence I was 10. It sucks soooo bad I know. There are pills you can take to make the sweating stop. Doctor's usually never write prescriptions for the pills and always say "let's try this instead" Trust me, nothing else will work. Don't let him convince you that theres no pill or you should try something else first.

ok...i have used this product before..
when you apply the certain dri at night, make sure you didnt just shave your underarms. this can caus an itchy irritation..i have had that problem before.
also if you shower too close to the time you apply it, that can also cause a quite painful irritation.
if none of these are something you have done, you should probably discontinue the use of this product. i know it does work wonders on sweat, but the irritation can really turn into something worse....
hope this helps=)

i would stop using it. i had the same problem with an antiperspirant. the problem was i was putting way too much on. try putting less on because no matter how much you put on, it will still stop the sweating and/or smell just as much. if that doesn't work, definitely go to the doctor or find another deodorant that works perfectly for you. hope i helped<3

don`t put it on directly after shaving there or use a different deoderant. ♥ corey.

Is this like a serious question? I mean, if it is, how can you be so stupid. If it says "Stop if irritation occurs" you should probably stop, duh. Not keep using it, and waiting for it to get worse. Stop being so ignorant, and just stop using it, and switch to something else. because, if you keep using it, its just gonna get worse and worse.

For goodness sake stop using something that is hurting you! This shouldn't even be a difficult decision. Stop using a skin product that causes you pain. Who knows how bad the rash could have gotten by now.
Go see a doctor explain your dilemma and see if you can't get some advice on another product to use, or a referral to a dermatologist. Not wanting to smell bad makes sense, but there is likely another way to manage it if you only look into it.

find a new deoderant, seriously. it says STOP if you get a rash, so find another night time deoderant. because obvoiusly its your fault if your geting a rash so dont ask othe rpeople cause that's seriously your own problem that you could of prevented. no offense. but use a little common sense! MUCH LOVE <3

Don't be miserable. You must be allergic to something in Certain Dri. If you continue to use it the rash will get worse and worse. Which you are already discovering.
Surely a big rash under your arms isn't more attractive than sweat. Go to your doctor about it.
At the very least talk to a pharmacist.
See if there is another product you can use.
Whatever is recommended don't use it until the rash
heals up. You don't want it to get infected. That
will be worse yet. Please seek medical attention for this. :)

I tried using Certain-Dri and other prescription deodorants and had the same problem. The chemicals are irritating the sensitive skin and you basically have a burn that needs to heal. You should stop using it for a week or so to let it heal because it's going to get worse if you keep using it. Once it heals, try to use it every other night or so. That helped me.

i would definity stop using it. if you go to the doctors they can give you a perscription deoterent that will help!
hope this helps!
