Crystal deodorant dermatitis: irritant dermatitis to alum-containing deodorant

H Gallego et al. Cutis. 1999 Jul.

Abstract

Two patients developed an irritant dermatitis of the axillae shortly after using an over-the-counter "natural deodorant crystal" product containing alum. We discuss this previously unreported, untoward reaction to alum, an ancient agent with newfound popularity as an alternative health product.
