I get painful lumps (blocked pores?) whenever I wear deoderant, but I'd really LIKE to wear deoderant!

(OK, I can use deoderant, but only hippy alcohol-based ones which don't stop me sweating or smelling!!)

So, this has been a problem ever since I was a teenager! I can't wear any sort of deodorant which is rubbed onto the skin because I get painful lumps in my armpits as a result - these must be blocked pores??

Antipersperants and non-antipersperants are the same. I'd love to use a deoderant that lasts for many days but I'm scared of what will happen! I can only use deodorants like this one: www.nealsyardremedies.com/lavender-and-aloe-vera-deodorant/11926909.html

It's embarrassing to smell and sweat through my clothes all summer long. :(

I'd skip the Nurse/GP (who would probably be useless) and go private to ask my questions, but I don't know who I'd see?

Has anyone heard of this before?
