I will try that thanks Andie.

Health food shops sell aluminum-free ones too - there's a tea tree one out there (but it does kinda leave you with that faint waft of teatree).  And the deoderant stones Aimee mentioned really do work!  Not quite as effective as hard-core anti-persperant, but they still work.  And your body adjusts to deoderants - DH uses deoderant once a week at the most and despite being a builder, he never gets stinky (crazy but true!) - the more you use, the more your body relies on it. 

Sux to get eczema eh.  The Doc finally told me yesterday that the skin probs that drive me crazy every summer are a weird form of eczema - FINALLY I can do something to prevent it!!  Have you thought about putting aqueous cream on under your arms before bed?  Prevention if better than cure for eczema.  But there's always steroid creams if need be. 

Amiee not a silly idea but DH is getting a bit grumpy with me turning into an Earth Mother so that may have to wait until he is safely in Waiouru and I have control of the bank accounts . Will try the dove first.

I seem to have developed excema under my arms. It is itchy as when I put deoderant on but I have to wear it or else I smell . Does anyone know a good deoderant I can use that won't irritate my excema??
