That happened to me using crystal salt for deodorant purposes. Someone said it had happened to their husband but it had never happened to me, as I am really a non allergy type person. I have now gone back to using CS gel because the rash persisted for several weeks. dee

How do you know it is fungus? I was using soda for deodorant which works excellent, but after awhile I will break out and just go back to regular deodorant for awhile. Even though the box says natural, I feel something is added or it wouldn't break me out??

Baking soda gives me an armpit rash. Look at the ingredients list on the box of baking soda, it should have nothing but baking soda in it. Not sure why except I have read that the skin ph is supposed to be acid, so if baking soda lowers skin ph, it might allow pathogens to flourish.
