OW! Underarm nick!

I somehow managed to nick my underarm when I was shaving this morning. I rinsed it off, and it didn't bleed much or hurt, so I put deoderant on like usual.
*SCREEEEEEEEEEAM*

Owchie!! It still stings AN HOUR LATER! Any ideas of what I could do for deoderant purposes for the next few days?

Re: OW! Underarm nick!

I'll be anxious to see the suggestions
that come in for this one! I can't count
the number of times I've done this to myself!
And WOW does that hurt!
You might have to go without deod on that
pit for a day or two...or put powder on it
instead....don't know!

Re: OW! Underarm nick!

I like those deodorant crystals - you just rub them over the skin while it's still damp after washing. No alcohol = no stinging, and those crystals are astringent and antiseptic so your cut should heal faster. I sometimes even use my crystal on my leg if I cut myself with a razor since it helps to stop bleeding.

Re: OW! Underarm nick!

Making frequent use of wipes (avoiding the cut) will usually get you through too.

Other than that - don't sweat ...g

Re: OW! Underarm nick!

Was it lemon and lavender essential oils, and distilled water that I saw as a recipe for spray deodorant once?

Would help your 'pit heal too.
