It's so weird when I read things that have just never even been mentioned to me during my treatment.
I wore my usual deodorant, which does have aluminium, as soon as I came out of each session. Nobody ever told me not to wear it during treatment, just not to apply moisturisers over my breast until after the session, so I went ahead and assumed for myself that deodorant wasn't a good idea either.
Imagine that.
Gosh.
What's supposed to happen to you if you wear it?
Edit:
Oh nevermind, I went and had a look at some studies from last year and they've decided deodorant does nothing and it's safe to wear through the whole thing, now calling the idea it increases skin damage an "old wive's tale". Probably why no-one said anything to me :lol: I'd still go for sensitive skin types though.
