M21 allergies to deodorant, recs please!!!
need a deodorant suggestion please!!!
i had a brain injury and i lost my sense of smell. my pcp is about 90% certain that i am allergic to something in most of the more mainstream deodorants, but we don't know what. i just lost my health insurance so i can't go to the allergist until around october-ish to find out exactly what ingredient, all i know is that the gel deodorants are the ones that typically make me react worse (and are 10x more painful to use because of it).
apparently any of the ones i've tried just don't work, i smell awful according to my mom, but i have no idea because i can't smell anything at all after my injury. the way she says it makes me feel really terrible about it, but i literally cannot find a deodorant that actually works that i'm not allergic to, and it's extremely embarassing having to go to the store with her so she can pick one for me since i can't smell them.
i want to avoid shopping online or buying one that's absurdly expensive because 1) i'm about to go on a road trip next week and 2) i'm too broke to continuously buy expensive deodorants, so if there's any that don't smell awful, work, and preferrably will last through some heat exposure and through some outdoor work (i ride horses for a good portion of my days every week) i would appreciate it so much
