» asrundre4m - 70% isopropyl alcohol hi Dr.neal is rubbing alcohol/70% isopropyl alchol that is easily available in grocer store dangerous to the skin? so i wonder if the rubbing alcohol/70% isopropyl alcohol sold in grocery store is as dangerous? i plan to try it on my armpit as i have odor problem and no deodorants work anymore. thank you -- posted by asrundre4m » NealC - Re: 70% isopropyl alcohol In response to message posted by asrundre4m:If large amounts of rubbing alcohol is used it can be a problem. Have you tried the antibacterial soaps containing triclosan or the hand cleansers containing 60-70% ethanol. WalMart sells a product called GermX that contains ethanol rather than rubbing alcohol. Ethanol is the least toxic alcohol in the alcohol family and would be much safer than rubbing alcohol. -- posted by NealC » asrundre4m - Re: Re: 70% isopropyl alcohol In response to message posted by NealC:
all my previous deodorant contain triclosan and now the bacteria is immune to it...i apply deodorant but i still smell....like no deodorant is applied...usually my deodorant works all the tme....for 2 years....but now doesnt work anymore.... thank you -- posted by asrundre4m » NealC - Re: Re: Re: 70% isopropyl alcohol In response to message posted by asrundre4m:clotrimazole is useful in killing fungi but not bacteria. I believe bacteria are the major source of the odor. However, remember certain diets can result in more body odor. Spicy foods, garlic, foods with curry can all increase body odor as well. Certain illnesses can also cause increases in body odor. It might be good to check with your physician as well concerning this problem. -- posted by NealC
