Is Deodorant Safe For 9-year-old Inspite Of Not Sweating?
My son's school have said he needs to have a deodorant in his p.e. kit to use after the p.e. lesson. He will be 9 years old in July and this seems very early to me. I have never noticed him smelling sweaty yet. should I go along with their policy or refuse to send one in?

Dear parent, this depends on the type of deodorant
you should choose a deodorant that is labeled as perspirant deodorant . you should avoid Deodrants that are labeled antiperspirant as they prevent sweating and lead to harmful effect
