So a couple months back I decided to switch to Schmidt’s natural deodorant and of course when switching to a natural deodorant your body has to adjust from no longer having an antiperspirant deodorant.

But recently I’ve started to notice that when my armpits get dry or when the deodorant goes away my armpits get real dry and flaky and then when I’m sweating the dry flaky skin clumps up and comes off.

I want to keep using a natural deodorant but all this flaking and itchiness and irritation just doesn’t feel normal.

Is this supposed to happen when you switch from an antiperspirant deodorant to a natural deodorant?

(Sorry my pits are hairy I’ve avoided shaving them to prevent further irritation)

The darker parts of my armpits are where the dry hard flaky parts are, the real light parts are where it has flaked away.
