Question: What should I use as antiperspirant for ultra sensitive armpit skin? I was using Almay and Dry Idea both of which are clear and unscented. I can use nothing scented. I use Cetaphil for bathing, etc.

You can try over the counter clinical strength antiperspirant

Detailed Answer:
Hello,
Thank you for trusting HealthcareMagic

Over the counter, clinical strength antiperspirants are very effective and they usually have minimal side effects like skin irritation.

There are different brands that produce clinical strength anti perspirant like Secret clinical strength anti perspirant, sweat block etc. All these antiperspirant are available in clear unscented form thereby avoiding skin irritation. These brands provide towelettes for application of anti perspirant to avoid rubbing-induced skin irritation.

Hope this answers your questions.
