RE: Old Spice deodorant - got burn and blisters from using deodorant

I purchased Old Spice deodorant and when I used it, I got a severe burn and even a few blisters under my arms. This stuff is mighty strong.

I have never had a problem with any deodorant.

My husband and I both had problems using this specific deoderant. We had burns and rashes. I still had a scar the last time I looked from the deoderant.

Same problem...I typically use old spice antiperspirant and never had a problem. I remember trying the deodorant a while ago and getting some burning. I bought it again because they stopped selling the gel antiperspirant in the 'after hours' scent, so I got the deodorant of it instead. After about a week of use, I notice minor pain as I was putting it on. The next day I was in a lot of pain, I am on day 3 of no deodorant at all, trying not to irritate it. It is very red and very painful to move. I'm not sure what to put on it...going to experiment with neosporin under one are and not the other...

I woke up after applying this deodorant the night before and have sever burns and blister under both arm pits. I want to get a lawyer on this. I see lots of other complaints with this issue. Maybe a class action lawsuit is an option. I am in so much pain and it been 4 days now. Doctor has me on antibiotics to try and help the situation.

My son used Old Spice deodorant and suddenly broke out in blisters on both underarms. I am applying medication but the poor kid is in pain and can't wear any deodoratn until teh blisters are gone.
