K.C.
I also am responding to the deodorant, not the dermatologist. Have you tried any non-traditional deodorants? I went on a search for a natural deodorant that worked for me, because I didn't like some of the associations with the aluminum that is the active ingredient in most deodorants, especially while nursing my children. Anyway, after trying many, some didn't work very well, some worked but were a pain, especially when dressing nice (just rubbing baking soda under my arms works well, but it's hard to do while wearing a little black dress), some worked but I didn't like the smell, etc. Anyway, I was reluctant in trying the rock crystal deodorant, but it has worked well for me. You may give that a try, as a change in deodorant is much cheaper than medicine. What I use is Lafe's brand and is a rock that you get damp and rub on like normal deodorant. It cost my about $4 and has lasted many months and seems as if it will last forever. ... anyway, just a thought!
