Lume for me! I already had an allergy to those with aluminum, but the natural ones with baking soda also broke me out. I have good luck with Lume, it doesn't stop the sweating, but it does prevent the odor. And like rosegardengal, the surgical side sweats very little- but it is like all of that travels to the healthy side- lol! Hugs!
I only use Bobby approved deodorant. Right now I am using Life Doesn't Stink Tangerine spice and only use when necessary.
I've been using Dove anti-perspirant because plain deodorant just doesn't cut it for me living in Florida. I mostly use it on my left armpit and only apply it there every other day. My right side is where the cancer was. Ever since they removed 16 lymph nodes I've been lucky and my right side has been less sweaty. In the cooler weather I don't need to apply anything on the right side, but when the heat and humidity ramp up I use it twice a week.
