Sensitive skin issues. I haven't fully figured out which ones are good or not, but my armpits seem to tolerate only roll-on format deodorants. Aerosol ones will give a burning sensation and rash within 1-2 uses and stick seem to just give rash within 3-4 uses. That actually did got worse after accutane treatment, but helped to figure out that only roll-ons are suitable.
But during current heatwave, theres nothing i can do. I sweat a lot as soon as temperature starts to get above 24c.
When working out, I'm literally the sweatiest person in the gym and start to smell of ammonia within 45-60 minutes. Up until now no one hasn't mentioned anything, but i am paranoid about it and whatever i should deal with it or not or even if i can.
Try 70 % IPA once a day.
Can you elaborate a little more on that? I doubt you're recommending it for drinking?
Soaking my gym clothes in it? Of course i do wash those daily and after each workout.
Spray it in your arm pit. Of course not a liter, just enough to get it wetted, like 1 or 2 pumps. It is a desinfectant and as such kills the bacteria that generate the smell. It also evaporates within a minute or so and thus should be less likely to irritate skin.
I'll give it a try. Thank you.
