Brief Answer:
Possibility of fragrance allergy
Detailed Answer:
Hello and welcome to healthcaremagic
I am Dr. kakkar. I have gone through your query and I have understood it
Fragrance is the most common allergen present in Deo's and Deodorant's and that is i think the reason behind the rashes in your case.
The purpose of deo's and deodorant's is to act as an antiperspirant and eliminate the odor but they may cause allergy or rashes in a few users due to the allergens present in them, fragrance being the most common
In such a case you may use topical aluminium chloride hexahydrate lotion 10% once daily at night. It is also an antiperspirant but with no fragrance at all. One such product that is available in XXXXXXX goes by the name of Aldry lotion, marketed by Curatio pharma in XXXXXXX
Regards

Hello Dr. Kakkar,
Thanks for the quick response.
Few more clarification :
Do you mean to say Aldry lotion replaces deo ? OR its like medicine, after that I can use deo ?
If its replacing Deo then I can use it daily OR is there any perticular way to use it ?

Brief Answer:
Aldry lotion
Detailed Answer:
Hi.
No, its not a deo.
It is just an antiperspirant just like deo's but without any fragrance. You can use once daily at night in the axilla for 2 weeks and then alternate night for maintenance. It decreases axillary sweating and therefore the resulting odour. It is also antibacterial. It contains no fragrance at all and therefore takes out the most probable allergen out of the equation in your case i.e fragrance.
Don't use deo over it.
