Underarm bumps revisted

I guess I'm not alone as I thought I was. For awhile now I've had these tiny red bumps (very much resembling pimples, if that isn't what they are) on my underarms. They are truly bothersome because not only can I not shave while they are present, but I don't want to wear sleeveless clothing such as dresses and tank tops because these hideous bumps show up!

I use Dove "Invisible solid" deoderant currently. Recently I've been scrubbing them to exfoliate and then using what I normally use to wash my face (J&J Clean and Clear) on my underarms as well. So far no change.

What do you suggest? I've read a lot about products like TendSkin and No Mo' Bumps, and No Bumps RX, and others like those. Has anyone used these products? Or would simply coritzone cream work? Thanks!

Hi, Lara.

Do you use antiperspirants?

Hi, Lara.

Although antiperspirants are the most common things causing this, the second most common things are hypersensitivity to the chemicals in deodorants.

Let us know what happens when you have switched to a hypoallergenic kind.

Lara, do you use Clinique? Their clarifying toner is made of a type of alcohol that doesn't sting so I thought it might be useful as a deodorant. I think it works but I would like to know if everyone else would find it worthwhile.
