Old Spice Reviews

I have used Old Spice deodorant for years without any concerns. Recently a burn developed when using the pure sport. It has taken weeks to heal. It went thru a scab to a bruise looking stage. I am not quite sure if I purchased a bad batch as this has never occurred before. The burns are quite painful and have still not completely healed after about 4 weeks.

I also ended up in Urgent Care with serious Chemical Burns under my arms and am now working with a law firm to get a class action suit underway. No one should have to suffer this type of pain. If you want to help put an end to this and to possibly receive some compensation for your pain and suffering, join a class action lawsuit - Call Frank at **. Time is of the essence, so call now.

I have been using Old Spice for years. Well that is until recently I started with a rash in my armpit. Did not think much of it and kept up with the routine of deodorant. That is until my arms burned so bad just with water I had to the emergency room and they told me to stop deodorant right away and the dr said she was not sure what was causing it - possibly the deodorant. Now it has been three weeks and the burring has stopped. However I have very bad burns to both armpits.

I also have been experiencing itching and burning issues with Old Spice CLASSIC ORIGINAL SCENT in the last six months. Initially, I thought it was just a skin irritation and will go away but didn't. I finally stopped using it. However, the red marks and itching still under my arms and continues to itch. I'm currently using CVS anti itching cream to stop the itching.

I just learned of the Old Spice rash that's going around -- finally an answer to my own rash! Like many of the other rash complaints, I've used Old Spice Red Zone products for years without any issues. Having said that, it didn't occur to me this product was the issue. Luckily, I had just visited a dermatologist for an eyelid skin irritation. As we were wrapping up my appointment - I asked if my underarm rash was related?? She said probably not, and questioned if I was using new soaps or detergents? I assumed it was a new soap I bought which I discontinued use.

I have dealt with this for like a year and a half now. Been to dermatologist and they didn't know what it was and I itch so bad. Sometimes my underarms are on fire and they burn and hurt and hard time sleeping with that. It's getting better. Been worse than the picture indicates.

My husband used old spice deodorant is whole life. The store was out of the original, so I purchased the high endurance and his under arm were so badly burned that his skin was peeling off, and he couldn't put anything on under there for a month.

My 14 year old son has been using Old Spice deodorant for the last year or so. He experienced chemical burns a couple of months ago but at the time didn't realize it was the Old Spice. Last week late at night I saw a news blurb on Old Spice Chemical Burns and made a mental note to check it out. I woke up the very next morning with my son having new chemical burns from the deodorant. I was elated to tell him I had just seen a something on the news about Old Spice causing chemical burns. Needless to say he is in serious pain. We're using Neosporin every couple of hours but this is ridiculous. This is the second time he has experienced this and Procter & Gamble needs to take those products off of the shelves. The latest stick was Wolfthorn but he's used several and had a chemical reaction twice.

I have use Old Spice products for several years. When I switched to the "High Endurance" line of deodorants problems started. My left armpit turned a glossy red over the entire area. My right armpit developed wide red streaks. In November 2015, I talked with my doctor who prescribed a prescription product for this condition. I used the cream for about six weeks without any improvement. I switch doctors and the new doctor recommended a fungicide. It didn't work. So I purchased an over the counter fungicide and the problem seems to have finally cleared up. I have not been able to used deodorants for over six months. I have three full Old Spice High Endurance containers along with a partially used one.

In April of 2015, I noticed my armpits were irritated and sensitive at work. After getting home, I was shocked to find bright red rashes streaked around both my armpits, one side more severe than the other. I immediately tossed my deodorant, changed soap, and also stopped using latex gloves at work, suspecting in particular an allergy to the latter. The rashes persisted severely for over a week, and only got worse even after stopping use of any kind of deodorant, using just gentle soap and water and talc powder to get through my work days. Painful, slightly oozy and red. They didn't seriously diminish until about two weeks.

My husband uses this product. A while ago he kept saying his armpit hurt and sure enough it was red. It hurt to the touch. We will no longer be purchasing their products since they are giving everyone chemical burn. Way to go Old Spice.

Use deodorant and aftershave for years with no problems, am 64 yrs old. Recently developed similar rash. Saw a dermatologist, prescribed 2% hydrocortisone which cleared it up in a week. Upon reuse, the rash come back. No longer using this product. Something has changed, me or the deodorant?

I have been using Old Spice deodorant and about 2 weeks ago, developed a severe rash under my armpit. It was like a burn/blister and I have been using all sorts of things to get rid of it. I had just recently switched to the Old Spice deodorant and within a few days developed the rash. I thought that it may have been due to my undershirts but it got worse. It has now been 2 weeks. I have now been informed and have read that there are several complaints about this. The deodorant smell is great but I will never use Old Spice again. Now switching to Axe as my sons tell me that it's great.

I have been searching all over the internet for what has been going on with my armpits. I can take a picture right now and show you that we have 3 different laundry detergents we have been trying to see if this will stop the madness. Different fabric softeners, etc. I recently came across someone who took pics of their armpits and posted online. It was exactly what I had been going through. It brought me here! I used to use Speed Stick as a deodorant, but switched to Old Spice back in 2012. I had no clue that it was the cause of everything. We lived in Hawaii at the time on Oahu. I tried out Old Spice and was using their Classic Line as well as their Wolfthorn and Lionpride brands. As I do nearly every night I take a shower, use their body wash, and put on their deodorant before bed. (It gets hot there in Hawaii and not many places have AC.)

My 15 year old son started using the Old Spice Swagger Deodorant (blue solid) and developed severe rashes, itching and burning under both armpits. It was painful for him to shower, wear clothes and even reach for things. The rash was raised and bright red spanning the length of his armpits. After a week of major discomfort, especially while running, we took him to a dermatologist. He asked about laundry detergent or any other changes and felt it might be a seasonal allergic reaction. My son was prescribed a cream which helped for a little while but then the nasty looking rashes came back. After seeing that others have had the same problem, we are discontinuing use immediately because the rash has not gone away after nearly 6 weeks.

I buy old spice deodorant before for my husband but he stop to use because it's burning his armpit and 2 days ago I see the picture in the News what gonna happen with the other people. What the Old Spice company do about that?

I have used Old Spice for years and I switched to a newer one that I've never tried before and all of a sudden my armpits started to burn so I wiped it off and haven't used it since. I have went back to my old one that I've used for years and it hasn't done it to me at all which is weird.

I noticed that my body has been going through skin burns and rashes since using Old Spice products like deodorant and body wash. It has affected me for a year until I found similar post describing my same issues. If you have any Old Spice prices stop right now.

My son was using these two deodorants and after using them he got severe Chemical burns which required him to go to the hospital. He is now scarred under his armpits. We didn't know what to do after this happened. He experienced a lot of pain from this.

The smell of Old Spice deodorant causes instant allergic reaction to me. Throat gets sore for about a day after smelling it. It must be the same chemical causing the burns. Wouldn't dare use it, and Old Spice products are banned from my house. Stay far away from anyone that has it on. I would very much like to know what is the toxic chemical used in Old Spice products.

I have been getting an itchy red rash after using the deodorant. I'm pretty sure it's from my allergy to metal. The whole reason I bought Old Spice is because I'm allergic to certain metals and old spice doesn't list any metals in the ingredients so I don't know if they are leaving any ingredients out of the label.

I just want to say that I love Old Spice deodorant. I have been seeing all these complaints lately in the news and I want to say I have not received any burns or reactions to old spice deodorant. I have been using the same scents that people have been claiming they are getting rashes from. Sounds like people are after an easy dollar in my opinion. I've been using Old Spice since I started wearing deodorant and haven't had a rash or anything. If you read the label it states reactions may happen. Stop using if it occurs. Common sense tells you that if something is harming you then you need to stop. I'm going to continue using Old Spice because I'm loyal and the stuff works.

I have been using Old Spice for quite some time but did not realize that this is what has been causing the burning rashes under my arms until seeing that others have been experiencing the same thing. I changed laundry detergents, and bath soap, thinking that it was one of those 2 things but it did not go away. I had not considered the Old Spice since I have been using it for so long, guess I'm not as smart as I thought I was. They must have changed something because when I used Old Spice in years past I never had this problem that I can remember.

I forgot to apply deodorant a few months back so I stopped on the way to work to buy a stick and grabbed Old Spice. I just continued to use it and the same thing happened - I broke out with red rashes under my arms and it burned like hell especially in the shower when water got on it. After a month or so I figured out exactly what was causing it and switched to Axe and the problem went away. I figured it was just me. Apparently not.

I have been using this product for a very long. Didn't think anything of the product. I have noticed when using this product I have had rashes and peeling skin under my arms. I'm using Arctic Force now. I wondering if I will get a rash from this?!

Red, raised rash in armpit chapped. Very painful. It hurt to put my arms down. It felt like I had been burnt.

I put the Old Spice under my armpits, it felt like a fire - ran downstairs hopped in the shower and that didn't work. So I went to the emergency room.

The specific product that gave me underarm burns was the Old Spice "High Endurance - Fresh". I was able to use this product only once. I suffered similar chemical burns to those who have posted their pictures online. The product began to burn within an hour after being on, but I figured it just took some getting used to. By the next morning, the injury under my arm was raw and painful. I washed it gently with soap and water and haven't used any deodorant products for about a month. The burn is now mostly healed but is still discolored, painful, and easily irritated. This product needed to be recalled from all store shelves ASAP!

I used my new old spice deodorant for 3-4 days and my armpits became so red and painful I had to go without any deodorant and only loose fitting shirts. The pain was unbearable at night and caused loss of sleep. I called the company and was told, "you must have sensitive skin". This caused almost a chemical burn reaction.

My husband recently bought a thing if old spice deodorant, upon using it for about 4 weeks he noticed a red burning rash under his armpits. It blistered up & oozed, he was in extreme pain from this product. He stopped using it & the burn cleared up.

I used Old Spice "pure sport" in 2015 and developed a horrible rash. I went to the emergency department as well as a dermatologist and the wounds took over three months to heal. That experience was horrible and I don't wish it on anyone. The pain and discomfort that I went through was not right at all. I still have the scars to prove it.

I used the classic Old Spice deodorant last year (2015) and was burned under my armpits. These burns were bad enough to where I had to trim my hair, and it greatly impaired my ability to perform on my softball team. It kept opening up, oozing and scabbing, because of it's location and the inevitable moisture that gathers under the armpit. Needless to say, it was a miserable course of about two+ weeks of treating and caring for the burns.

My son used the swagger scent of the Old Spice brand. After one use he had some kind of reaction to it where it burnt his armpit. He was unable to wear anything for about a week. We switch to a different brand and has had no other issues. He had used Old Spice swagger before so I don't know if a bad batch or what but we aren't taking any chances and not buying it again.

Years back I tried using one of Old Spice's deodorants and received awful burns under my arms that lasted for weeks. Even worse, it was the only deodorant I packed for a 3-week trip. After realizing the cause (which took some time) I stopped using the deodorant but didn't use any other for weeks due to the seriousness of the infection under my arms. My trip was sullied and ruined because of pain, discomfort, and smell.

I bought Old Spice deodorant to try it because mine was out. So I bought Swagger red zone, l liked the smell of it. So I used it a couple times and wow it burnt me so bad I had bad rashes under my arms. I could not use any deodorant for a couple weeks. I will never use that again. I have to use Avon deodorant because I'm scared of getting that rash back.

I have been using old spice for about 5 years now. I've developed bad rashes and thick bumps all over that cause a very bad burn. This has started for the past 2 months. Maybe their formula changed? I have just heard about a lot of people having the same. I thought it might be the deodorant but wasn't sure before but now I am. Screw you Old Spice!

My boyfriend used this product and a day later his left armpit had a severe rash/burn. He was in a lot of pain and could barely move his arm. It took nearly a month to go away. He now has an ugly scar from the burn. Do not use this product!

Back in November of 2015 I bought Old Spice "pure sport high endurance" Deodorant for my 15 year old son. A few days later he came to me and told me his armpits were sore. I told him let me see and when he lifted his arms I saw moon shaped blood red welts. His left armpit was worst than his right. I suspected the Deodorant since it was the only new thing he had added to his routine. Even after stopping use, his armpits got worse and so I took him to the doctor and sure enough the doctor said he had chemical burns. I contacted P&G and other than saying they would send me coupons to buy more products (which I never received anyway) there was no admittance of them having a problem with their deodorants. I still have the emails, and I still have the product. I saved it just in case it needed to be tested.

Son and I both use Old Spice swagger in blue gel. We both got severe chemical burns under our arms. The burns were so severe we had to use ice packs and burn cream. This was after one use only. The swagger that is white doesn't bother us though? Something needs to be done and the products that are having complaints should be recalled!

We thought it was strange and just stopped using the product, but seeing that others experienced the rash and burning and the fact that the company hasn't recalled the deodorants seems negligent. Very upsetting that so many people are having reactions like this thinking it's just a weird personal problem.

I purchased the Pure Sport version of this product most recently and as far as I can tell it was lot number 5334TN based on the number on the back of the applicator. This was purchased at my local grocer. The reaction I had after a couple of uses was severe and I have been using triple antibiotic ointment to heal it for almost 3 weeks and it is now finally clearing up. For the better part of a week, it was extremely tender and painful to touch. I had no idea what was the cause of this until I saw the news yesterday and the lights went on finally. Whatever is causing it, at least in my case seems to occur in the first uses and quits once you are through the first layer of the product. This had happened once before about 4 months ago and I had the exact same reaction!

What used to be my favourite deodorant that I would search high and low for has suddenly started causing me Severe skin rash... So painful I am unable to work or socialise. Skin is horrible, burnt after use.

My husband used of Old Spice swagger & got burns under both armpits back in January 2016. Didn't know what to do so stopped using & bought cortisone cream.

My 16 year old was using the Old Spice Body was ( ). He ended up with the below pictured rashes and was consulted two times with the doctors and prescribed creams, antibiotics and steroids. The first picture is Feb 2016 and the second picture is today (March 2016). The pain that an active 16 year old was unbelievable. Would like to be included on the class action suit. Not sure if his pit is now scarred or if this will eventually go away.

I bought PURE SPORT Old Spice back in January. And have been using it since then. After a few days black/brown pimples started to grow... I thought I had cancer or something so I went to the doctor and told me that everyone that is using Old Spice is experiencing this... that's why I am here. Does anyone has a cure for this...? I called them and they said they are sorry about what I'm going through bla bla bla would you like a voucher bla bla bla... I asked for a cure they said they can't provide any medical advice... So did anyone find a solution for this... Summer is coming and I would like to hang out shirtless... thanks.

I have used Old Spice Pure Sport Deodorant for over 10 years and just recently developed burns in both arm pits. It is very painful and was so bad that when drying off after a shower my skin came off in large pieces. They must have changed something with the product to create this. This product should be immediately recalled and investigated.

This has been several months ago that I used the old spice deodorant that I received in a gift bag for Christmas. After a few days of use my armpit developed a serious rash. I quit using the deodorant and a few weeks later the rash cleared up. I never thought anything of it at the time. This is a product that I would not suggest to anyone.

We spent months trying to figure out what was why our teenage daughter had such horrible burn like patches on her armpits. We tried different detergents, etc. thinking it may have been an allergic reaction but nothing helped. She was in a lot of pain and the blister like rash was getting worse. We finally switched her to a different deodorant and noticed improvement within a couple of weeks. She was using Old Spice Fiji because she loved the smell. We believe, through a process of elimination, that this was the culprit for her painful rash. We would not recommend this product!

I was burned immediately after applying Old Spice "lion's pride" deodorant to my armpit. It was so uncomfortable and I couldn't apply anything to my armpit for almost 5 days due to the severity of the burn. I emailed in to the company and they told me its because of my "sensitivity" and offered me $5. I just saw that there have been SO many other people burned by this and yet no one has done anything???

After using the deodorant for a few days my armpits started to burn and noticed some skin irritation. Stopped using the deodorant and began treatment with ointments, months later still have marks from the irritation. Why has this product not been discontinued?

A while back I noticed this pretty serious burn under one of my arms. I had no idea it was my Old Spice deodorant because it was only one of my armpits and I had been using the product for years. After a few days I stopped using any deodorant and that one spot started to heal. I then switched to Dove to see if it was the deodorant and had no problems, so I knew it was something to do with the Old Spice. I Googled it at the time and found pictures of it happening all over the internet; this is definitely a product that should come off of the shelves. I am not allergic to any other products or scents therefore I assume this was some sort of chemical burn. As a result, I no longer trust using any Old Spice products.

After shower drying off good I use the spray Old Spice for underarms. Within a few min my arms felt like they was on fire like someone was holding a lighter under them or blow torch. I used a white antifungal cream. This cooled it down but started burning again. My complete armpit was red. I tried baby powder. It made it crusty so washed it out with a rag water. I used 2 wet rags under arms. Went to Doctor. He gave an antifungal medication. Took it for 4 weeks. It finally stopped burning. Started getting clearing up. After it stopped getting sore red blistering burning like a blow torch. This was extremely painful. And still have problems with it.

Both my husband and son experienced severe burns and blisters under their arms using this product. My husband used Pure Sport and my son used Swagger. Both had used these products for a couple of years before this happened. It happened this past summer/fall (2015). Both complained that it hurt to put their arms down or to wear clothing & it was extremely painful. Both products were the clear and blue versions. My son switched to a different brand and his finally cleared up after a couple weeks of pain and scabbing. My husband switched to the white deodorant/anti-perspirant and his also cleared up in a couple weeks after extreme pain & scabbing.

When using Old Spice deodorant years ago, I also experienced the burns and rashes in the armpit. I thought perhaps I was just sensitive and switched to another, milder deodorant. I even went to the doctor who performed tests to confirm there wasn't something wrong with me/my skin. I haven't had the issue since switching.

Your loyal customer. P.s. To clarify Pure Sport is my choice of Old Spice. Never had a problem till I just replaced it with the same thing.

I have 2 older teenage sons and my youngest tried using the Bearglove and the Pure Sport and broke out in painful red rashes... My oldest actually used an older kind for a while and when he tried some of the newer kinds he would itch. Old Spice is a pretty reputable brand... Why is this happening to so many people?

I bought the sport deodorant from Old Spice for my son. He used it one time then told me his underarms were hurting. I told him to stop using it and he still had the same rash for over a week after not using it. He could not use any other deodorant either because it would hurt too much. He would take repeat showers to try to get the rash to go away but it had to go away on its own. I will never buy this for any man in my family again.

I started using Old Spice deodorant when I was in high school back in the early 2000s. It went on clear and it was the only scent that I really liked/lasted throughout the day. The day after application I'd develop a rash that left me in so much pain that I couldn't even raise my arms. Initially, I thought it might have just been friction but eventually it was clear that the deodorant was the cause. My mother felt that throwing it away would mean wasting money so she had me just deal with it. So the cycle started. I'd apply one day, feel burned the next and have to go to school smelling like a locker room since it hurt too much to reapply. Then when the burning stopped, I'd reapply and start the cycle again.

I am teenage guy who is a user of Dove deodorant, because I found that Old Spice used to irritate me when I used it. Well, I ran out of my Dove one morning, so I resorted to my backup Old Spice Fiji deodorant. I used the Fiji for 3 days, and then noticed it hurt to stretch out my arms, and then I saw two small red burn marks on the outer part of my armpit, it hurts. I'm very angry considering I only used the deodorant for 3 days, and then received burns, not using Old Spice ever again. Use Dove men, it doesn't irritate, or burn.

I bought some Old Spice deodorant and have used Old Spice for years, but this one burnt the skin off my underarm pit. I called P&G right after I started burning and they took my info and never heard from them. I was told I was having a reaction to that deodorant. I still have it and I bet anyone at P&G want to tell me it's just a few people having reactions to it, let them put this under their arms and give it 30 min, then tell me and all the others about your reaction!

I had to quit using this deodorant because when I did at the end of the day my skin would peel off and be bright red and have huge lumps all over my underarm. I would be very uncomfortable for days after I stopped using it with my skin continuing to peel off and puss pockets showing up.

I was using Old Spice deodorant for about a week then, all of a sudden I started to feel some burning & bad sensation when my arms would move back & forth. They were so BAD!!! So, I went to the doctor. She said she couldn't rule out any reaction to the product... but, my arms were so bad. I had to end up using some cream that she prescribed me to heal it up! This went on for about 2 weeks & finally it healed up. My armpits still have scars from the burns.

My 15 year old son, whom has used Old Spice for a couple years, has had NO issues. Well, I got him the Pure Sport one. He used it for 3 days and this was the outcome. BOTH armpits started burning (on fire), then the skin was basically peeling away and his armpits were completely raw. He could not even lift his arms above his head or have any type of material touch his armpit. Well, I ended up taking him to the Emergency Room because the burn was so bad. They could not really pinpoint it, so they asked if he was in sports and I said "yes." They put down -- it was a yeast infection and gave him two topical creams to apply to both armpits. My son refused to put cream on his pits. So he stopped using that deodorant and after about 4 days, it started clearing up. But now, since the burn was so bad on both armpits, the armpits are scarred.

I bought a stick of Old Spice anti-perspirant and after a few days, the consistency of the product changed to become solid and sharp, scratching and cutting my underarm as I was applied it. After contacting P&G customer service I was given a coupon for a new one. I stupidly bought another of the same type. It also had the same issue. I was given another coupon which I used for a different scent of the same type and it also had the same problem. I will not buy P&G again.

I too experienced severe burning when I used the product while vacationing last summer. I have scars now under my armpits and feel embarrassed to even wear tank tops anymore. It started as a burning sensation then turned into a rash and now I have the burnt scarring from the product. Is there a number I can call to see what I can do about the embarrassing scars this product has left behind?

My underarm's hurt so bad I went to the hospital. The doctor said it looked like a chemical burn. But it was from Old Spice deodorant. I used it when I was younger and it was fine then.

I also suffered burns from the deodorant. I've used it for years with no issues until this past batch. Either P&G changed content or they made a bad batch. It was bad enough that I went to the doctor and I never go to the doctor, hardly. A steroid shot, antibiotics, and a week and a half not able to wear any deodorant I started getting better. Lost a day and a half of work as well. So what they want but I am very unhappy now to know about this because I assumed it was an allergic reaction at the time but obviously not... It never made sense then that all of the sudden I would become allergic to something just like that when I had used the product for years. P&G is trying to cover this up by playing it off... I REALLY don't appreciate that. There is a bigger problem here...

My boyfriend has always used Old Spice Deodorant. Switches between different scents so never suspected the Deodorant was what was causing these rashes to appear every few months. It started about a year ago and they would go away after a couple weeks. Then come back every couple months. Sometimes in both armpits but usually in left, scabby rashes would appear across his armpits. They would get so bad he could hardly lift his arms. Honestly it never crossed my mind that the Deodorant could be causing this until I read a recent lawsuit about it. I always thought it was some kind of fungal infection. Will be purchasing new brand of Deodorant for him now.

I applied this deodorant after my morning shower and within minutes I stayed to burn. I didn't know it was the deodorant at first. It was the first time I had felt this burn and thought maybe I scratched myself. The next day I put on the same deodorant and it felt like someone set my underarms on fire. My armpits turned red and I had to quickly get it off. I jumped back in the shower and it did not help me. I laid in bed for about two days with my arms stretched out trying not to touch myself. I'm not happy with this product are the way it made me feel.

I used Old Spice and after a couple times of using it I started having burning, redness and rawness under both my arms. It was very painful. I stopped using and had to go a couple weeks without using deodorant at all then I switched to another kind and never had that problem again.

My father had such a severe reaction to Old Spice Deodorant that it requires medical attention and specialist to clear up after 4 months. There needs to be a class action investigation into this as paraben products are known cancer causing. So what's in this that can burn a person. My husband also had the same reaction but not as bad. He spent a week burned and unable to use deodorant. He changed immediately. My elderly father didn't know any better to know it was the deodorant.

My boys loved this deodorant and the pleasant smell they get from Swagger... Until it burned their underarms. Both boys complained of the same thing. I thought it was unusual until I read the other reviews and now I know it was something wrong with the product.

I used the Old Spice pure sport and after couple of days my underarms were raw. It burned so bad that I had to hold ice packs under my arms for a couple of days because of the burn.

I recently bought this product for my son and husband and after about 3 days my son's arm pits started to burn, he showed them to me and I was horrified to see what looked like burns, he said his arms were so sore that he couldn't even lift his arms above his head. We had to get Bactrim Cream for his pits and 2 weeks later finally starting to scab over. My husband thought maybe our son was just sensitive to the product until the same thing happen to him 2 days later, my husband said he never felt so uncomfortable. He has to wear dress shirts to work and could hardly even move, because it would rub, It's been about 2 weeks with his too and now finally starting to heal. This product needs to go away.

My 16-year old thought he had a heat rash (granted it is not hot outside, cool temps) under his armpits. He was really hurting to the point he wanted to stay home. He showed me what was under his armpits, I was mortified! It looked like a second degree burn under both armpits. The only thing he uses is Old Spice deodorant, Swagger fragrance. I had him immediately stop using the deodorant, and after about a week the rash/burn went away. Both my husband and my other son use this brand, but we will be changing their deodorant as well.

I came across these comments about Old Spice Deodorant and was surprised to find that so many people had the same experience my husband did with this product. My husband has used Old Spice Deodorant for years but recently developed a severe burning rash on his underarms just as the others described. He switched to a different deodorant and it cleared up!

I borrowed my boyfriend's a couple of weeks ago since I had run out of my brand. After a few days it hurt when I raised my arms and felt a small swollen lump. I figured I would use it that next morning, but would get my own. I was able do so, however it was too late. By nightfall I had a painful rash that only clears by wearing no deodorant and tank tops for a week. This could have been prevented if Old Spice would have issued a recall or notice.

My husband and son both used this item. Purchased at Costco in a 4-pack. They both had reactions to it. My husband was a little less because he only used it for a bit but had burning and redness. My son used it longer and had burning, redness, scabbing and peeling. Stopped using it and it took about a week or so to get better. My husband has used this same product but the anti perspiration and deodorant (so the white, not the clear) and hasn't noticed any reaction. We didn't realize until I came across an article on this problem.

It took the skin right off my arm pits. It was truly unreal. It made them blister and bleed. There should be a total recall on this deodorant because of the chemical burns. I am keeping the original to have it tested. I think I am going to seek legal support. It is very possible that this was very cancerous to the body and some needs to be held accountable.

I have used this product for many yrs, then it started to blister my left armpit. I switched to something different, but I love the smell of pure sport, so I bought a new one just to try it again and it burnt my arms again. Then 3 wks ago I got to work and realized I forgot to put on deodorant so I remember I had pure sport in my locker so I used it and sure enough the next morning I was all blistered up again.

I used my boyfriend's deodorant, which isn't new. He has other stuff by Old Spice, didn't think it was a big deal. I have a chemical burn scar under my left arm and the starting of one on the left. When I stopped use it stopped getting worse but the ingredients really should be evaluated. It still burns and I haven't used that in weeks. The pic is tonight after a month and a half after the original burn...

My husband and son both use Old Spice products, such as deodorant and washes and have never had any problems with anything. I see all these reviews that are bad. Maybe they just have a sensitivity to the product. Everyone is different.

I have used Old Spice for around 15 years or so and had no problems up until just the last few weeks, when I had it burn my underarms so I stopped using it for a few days and it went away. Thinking it was just me I tried it again a few days later and same thing, not very happy as Old Spice was the only deodorant I could use that worked with my sensitive skin.

Deodorant made armpits very sensitive. At first, I thought perhaps I had some irritation from the sleeves of a shirt being too tight. But, after several days of switching to tank tops that were loose fitting, the sensitivity continued to get worse and started to burn a bit more. I realized I had recently switched deodorant. I made mention of this to my boyfriend and turns out he was experiencing the same problem. The discomfort simply was not of a level worth mentioning really, until several days had passed and we were both questioning what was the cause. Will not be purchasing again! A simple google search on the product, showed this to be a common problem. There is definitely something in the product that irritates skin!

My husband was using Old Spice deodorant for a while and got this horrible rash that was burning and red! He finally figured out after a few weeks it was the deodorant and switched back to his old Speed stick and it finally went away. How horrible. They must be using some bad chemicals in there since I just read an article about this happening to a lot of other people.

I used my boyfriend's deodorant because I ran out and didn't realize it until after my shower. I use men's Dove deodorant so I figured... Hey, what's the difference? Right? Wrong!! I felt a little burning at first but thought it would go away. I didn't realize how bad it was until my entire armpit was on fire later in the day. My armpit is on fire. It's been 3 days now and I have a huge chemical burn rash with some areas that are now blistering. I have no idea how this is an approved product. I need to put burn cream on it to help ease the pain. And it hurts to put my arm down or wear sleeved shirts. It's seriously unbearable and it seems like it's only getting worse. Let's just say, I'll never do that again.

No one wants a burning armpit. I used Old Spice deodorant forever when I was younger. I drifted away after finding better options but having used that product for so long I did come to acquire a surplus of their deodorant. There's a stick of Old Spice Pure Sport that has been in my track bag since my freshman year of high school. It's seemingly endless, and it's always worked in a pinch after a meet when I smell like death.

After two days of using this product, I developed extremely painful chemical burns under my left arm. I have a small burn that began to develop on the right as well, but I realized what was happening in time. I've use Old Spice before (yes, girls use men's deodorant all the time), but this developed swiftly. I do not want others to have to experience this pain if they do not have to. I have limited use of my arm, making basic things very difficult. Because it is my armpit, too, healing is not going to be easy. Buyer beware!!! IT HURTS. P&G hasn't responded to my emails either, which is really unfortunate.

I ran out of my regular Deodorant and decided to use my partner's new bottle of Old Spice Pure Sport he decided to buy and try. I put it on around 11 am and by 8 pm my underarm was on fire. Evidently my sweat and that Deodorant create battery acid. When I got home from the gym I was red raw and blistered. It's almost been a week and it's still painful. I have been having to use Gold Bond powder on my left armpit to avoid any irritation and smell. This product is horrible!

Recently purchased a bottle of the Old Spice Swagger (Jan 2016) and my husband has been home for two days with full body chemical burns/rash/welts. It went down his throat, feet swollen to where it hurt to wear shoes. He is bald and even had these huge welts and burns all over the top of his head as well as his entire body. I have never seen anything like this. I am wondering with all the complaints, how come someone isn't doing something to get this product off the shelf? The pictures I am posting are three days old and are not pictures of his entire body. He is finally noticing improvement.

After using the Deodorant for a few weeks I developed a rash under my left arm. It was extremely itchy with a burning feeling.

I ran out of my usual deodorant and found this under my bathroom sink. I used it ONCE on Sunday. The minute I put it on it started to burn but I pushed through thinking that it would stop. The next morning I noticed that I had a red strip of skin under my arm and thought that explained the burning. Well it's now Thursday and it's only gotten worse. I can barely move my arm up or down and the mark is now raw, oozy and bright red. I don't know how this product is still sold. Shame on this company for their total disregard of their customers health.

My son was complaining of severe pain after using this product. I was shocked and surprised to see how many complaints exist for this issue and product! Old spice needs to take responsibility and fix this. These products need to be recalled now!

My husband got a chemical burn under both armpits after using Old Spice Fresh High Endurance for about 1 week. He just realized his skin was raw and peeling off today and discontinued the deodorant. He used old spice in the past on and off (he uses a variety of brands) and never had a problem until now. Wondering if they're going to pull it off the shelves?!?

My husband started using this product, and within 1 week his armpits were red, swollen, itchy then painful when scratched. He stopped using the deodorant, and it cleared up in about 3-4 days. Bad product, was it tested? Did they know this would happen? Are there any long term effects? Do not buy! ** came in a combined package for Christmas.

I bought Old Spice deodorant from Walmart and used it after a week I got 5 horrible painful cyst. Had no other choice but to go to the hospital and get them removed and treatment. I recommend people don't use it. May causes cyst under your arm pit.

I've been using this product for awhile, now I get this painful burning and itching. Had to go to the doctor and spend money I didn't have. Doctor could not figure it out. Finally done some research to find several people who have complained about the same product and symptoms.

After using the Old Spice Product for a few weeks my under arms started itching and looking with a mirror my skin where I used the product broke my skin out in a horrible rash. I took photos with my cell phone, washed the area with clear water, after few days the rash cleared up. I use no deodorant after this episode. The rash had to come from the deodorant. The UPC number is 012044389706. Was purchased at Walmart.

I have used Old Spice products off and on for many years without any noticeable problems. I recently purchased the "FRESH" High Endurance stick and all of that changed. After just a few days of use I noticed my under arms were getting raw and dry. For reasons unknown to me, I didn't put 2 and 2 together. After about a week or so of using this product, I had raw broken swollen skin that burned like the fiery pits of Hell itself. It took about 3 or 4 days to get over the ordeal. I am surprised they haven't pulled this product.

I also have allergic reaction to Old Spice deodorant. Not to the point of blisters but I do get a bad rash that itches badly.

I always liked to use Old Spice cause they smell good, then it started burning. The burning wasn't that bad at first. I thought it was cause I would put too much or rub against my shirt, then today after I took a shower I applied Old Spice Aqua Reef and a little under a minute later I experienced an agonizing burning sensation that made me, a 6' broad guy almost want to cry. I don't know what happened. I immediately rushed to the restroom. I looked under my arms and my armpits were red. I quickly took it off with a towel and cool water and I applied some speed stick. I can still feel the burn and it hurts pretty bad. Please Old Spice do something about this.

I used various Old Spice deodorants for many years. Sometimes had small rashes develop but never thought too much about it as it worked for odor. I recently ran out so got a new stick at the grocery store. I had a shower, and applied the new stick once to both arms. The next morning, I woke up with discomfort under my arms. Washed them and went to work. The pain increased and now 3 days later I still have excruciating chemical Burns under both arms that prevent me from lifting my arms. I will never buy again and recommend no one else does. A 'hygiene' product should NEVER cause this reaction. A very disappointed, and still recovering ex-customer.

FIJI deodorant - I started using this a week ago because I heard from a few friends that it smelled great so I figured I would try it out. After 3 days I noticed red burns on both arm pits, but mainly my left. It's very painful and I can't stretch or complete regular activities. It hasn't gotten better and I have stopped use immediately. It's very painful and uncomfortable. Nothing seems to help. This product should not be sold anywhere! DO NOT BUY THIS!

I've used Old Spice for over 15 years. In the last year or so it seems like sometimes a stick of deodorant I buy will burn my armpits. I was sure to buy a different version this time. I bought the "Classic: Fresh" one, which says it is the original round stick formula in the top corner. I figured this would not burn because it's the original, and I've been using this stuff for years. IT STILL BURNS! And it is ineffective too. It smells like alcohol with BO. This is absurd.

Have noticed over the last few months what I thought was a rash in my pits that would heal up and go away then come back a few weeks later... After reading these reviews I have acquitted it to my old spice fiji deodorant. I now have massive deep burns in both armpits that only seem to get worse even not using anything on them but soap in the shower and neosporin. DO NOT BUY THIS PRODUCT.

I recently bought Old Spice Aqua Reef gel deodorant for my 13 year old son. He used it for three days last week and then quickly developed a horrible rash/chemical burn in his left armpit. I took him to the doctor because it became infected within a matter of about 48 hours. He is now on an antibiotic to treat the infection, missed one day of school, and experiences extreme pain when trying to lift his arm. Once he does get it lifted, it hurts to put it back down.

I have been using Old Spice deodorant since junior high. Im 29 now. Until last week. In the middle of the day my armpits were feeling uncomfortable. It got worse and worse. After work I got home and looked in the mirror. Both my armpits were red and it made sense because I was in a lot of pain at that point. First thing I did, was toss Old Spice in the trash where it belongs. Now I wear Toms deodorant. Doesn't smell as great but at least my armpits aren't burning. Someone should tell Old Spice that they are burning people with their deodorant!

Started using Old Spice deodorant for the first time last week and after a few days I have a terribly painful rash now. My daughter used it and has the same rash. I've stopped using it but the rash won't go away. Please spread the word. Something is not right.

My boyfriend's been using Old Spice Swagger deodorant for a long time now. Until recently he started getting a rash on his armpits that burn & hurt him every so often. He stopped using the product & now his skin feels dead & dry & it's real red. It hurts when he moves them around, & it irritates him when he's working. Old Spice products should either fix their problem or take them off the shelves for good.

I ran out of deodorant and decided to use my husbands because it smells so good. After I applied the deodorant, all was fine, until a few days later I noticed a lot of discomfort and burning. I can barely raise my left arm. I applied Vaseline that didn't help, nothing helps to sooth the pain. I have burns on the upper part of my armpit, it is red. I can't wear deodorant until it heals. I work alongside others in a close proximity so I'll try baking soda I guess.

My husband complained earlier this year about rashes under his arms that eventually went away. Today he said that it had come back and when he showed me I was shocked! Burned and infected!! After further research we concluded it was from the deodorant. I'm so angry and upset with Old Spice. Garbage!

Been using Old Spice for a while now, and recently I've acquired chemical burns on my armpits. Very shocked that this is an EXTREMELY COMMON issue with Old Spice consumers. This is very shocking to me. Something needs to be done about this! The commercials are annoying enough and now I'm in physical pain from this product. Disgusting.

I have been using the Old Spice Fiji gel deodorant for a few years now. It WAS my favorite and the only deodorant I used. I recently bought a new one and used it and maybe a few hours later I noticed something that looked like bruising, but as it has been 5 days now they have transformed into BURNS and sores. It keeps getting worse every day. I don't know what I'm more upset about, having to find a new deodorant or these ugly burns that hurt SO bad. Okay maybe the burns.

I do not know how Old Spice can still be selling this deodorant with all the complaints they have, my son started complaining about a week ago about it hurting in his armpits and showed me the burns. I am not a very happy mother right now!

I ran out of my own Deodorant, so I decided to use my fiancé Deodorant for a couple days until we went to grocery store. I felt my armpit very sore as I am a massage therapist so after second day when I got home, I looked under my left armpit and look what I found! They are not just rash, but burned!! Burned as if I took my curling iron and seared it in my armpit. :-( Due to my job, I don't have the luxury of keeping my arms still so they can heal. Worst product ever. Nothing should ever burn you this bad.

I once in a while use my husband's Old Spice deodorant because it's longer lasting, smells good and goes on clear. I like to wear it when I wear black tops so deodorant doesn't show all over. I usually wear Dove powder scent. I would say I use the product couple times a month and I haven't really had a problem in the past other than a minimum amount of irritation but I shave my underarms everyday so I figured that had something to do with it and I would just not wear it for a while again and that seemed to work... until the other day.

I never write reviews, but this merited my time. I have been using the same deodorant since high school (a long time ago), and was looking for something that wouldn't melt in my purse so I could reapply as needed. So I went on a hunt to find a good deodorant that worked well and smelled good. A coworker recommended the Old Spice "Wolfthorn" scent because it smells like gummy bears (wanted something girly as I am a girl), and would hold up in my purse without a dramatic change in the texture.

Hello everyone, I contacted Old Spice because of the incredible pain that I am in from the chemical burns on my armpits from their Swagger deodorant. This product has put me in agonizing pain and it hurts so bad that I can't think straight. I hope this product gets taken off the shelves coz this is some real **. My left arm is so bad I can't even lift my arm up without feeling like my skin is going to rip off of my body. I've never been so unpleased with a product ever in my life, but this one really tops the charts as the worst deodorant product ever made. Thanks a lot for putting me in the worst pain I could have ever felt Old Spice.

I've been using Old Spice for years! But just this month have I had my skin peel from using this deodorant. I'm shocked! This is new! I will stop using this product immediately.

I tried Old Spice's "Swagger" deodorant for the first time. It worked great until it was about 1/2 done... then BOOM! Like one of the people below me, I thought I scratched myself on the plastic case causing a bruise but that didn't make sense with the INTENSE CHEMICAL BURN that I felt. I'm on day 3 of no deodorant... it's too painful to wear. The pics were taken just now after 3 days of your products (I use cold water in the shower only). Avoid.

I used to use Old Spice in high school and recently decided to switch back to it. Woke up this morning with chemical burns under both my armpits. Right armpit is much worse than the left. Burns, doesn't itch. Never buying this deodorant again.

I had a burning sensation after I used my Old Spice Pure Sport. I immediately washed it off and it still burns a little but not near as much as before.

Skin peeling and chemical burns, itches like crazy with redness.

I am so glad that I got to the bottom of what has been going on with my armpit. After reading and witnessing the several other angry people with burns from Old Spice deodorant I have realized what my problem was. Even though I am a woman, I have always worn men's deodorant. A few months ago I bought Old Spice "fresh" and not long after that I noticed a large abrasion in my armpit. After finally going to the doctor, she had no idea what it was from. I never thought it could be my deodorant because I have NEVER had a reaction to anything in my life. My abrasion finally went away and I continued to use the Old Spice. A month later, the same thing happened. I am never going to use this again and I am so glad to read other's reviews of this product because I finally diagnosed myself. The abrasion mainly happened in my left armpit. I am sure that the Old Spice caused this burn.

My son has been using Old Spice Swagger Deodorant and has a rash in his armpits that is red and burning. We will never buy these products again!!! Shame on you Procter and Gamble for continuing to produce this product with all these reviews, and without warning!!!

I normally use old spice deodorant with antiperspirant but left it at home on a trip and only had the "swagger" deodorant (blue stick). I used it the first day twice and thought I was catching my skin on the plastic because it burned and hurt a little but I thought nothing of it until the morning of the third day when it really felt like a burning sensation. Although stupid decision, I still put it on that third day because I would be in meetings and did not want to sweat. The fourth day I woke up to very bad burns which would only get worse throughout the day. Now a week later they hurt so bad I can't reach my arms up and the burns are very big on both armpits. I find it crazy that so many others have had the same issue. I do not have pictures but they looks very similar if not worse than other pictures people have posted.

I recently have been trying out different deodorants because nothing seems to keep me from sweating or having an odor during the day. My brother had received a free sample of the Old Spice Wolfthorn deodorant, so I snagged it from him and thought I would give it a go. After putting it on, I noticed that my underarms were tingling, but I assumed being female, it was just a way men's deodorant feels. After about an hour my underarms were extremely itchy and "hot" feeling. I thought I was having an allergic reaction so I washed it off immediately. The next morning I woke up and noticed a small rash. I immediately stopped using it because I was clearly allergic, or so I thought.

I bought Old Spice High Endurance because I don't like deodorants with aluminum salt due to my family's history of Alzheimer's Disease. Yesterday was my first use of this product and instantly I felt an aching burning sensation as if I shaved and put aftershave on my armpit. I tried washing it off but the damage was done. Redness and tenderness in the applied area! I just through the two pack away and went and bought Toms Natural. Will never use this chemical burning Old Spice again!

I have used Old Spice Pure Sport in the past. We bought a new kind in bulk and I had used it for around 6 months. I switched back to Pure sport and within minutes my armpits started burning. The next day my underarms were chaffed severely. I thought I did it exercising and didn't wear any for a week to heal up. After healing up I put it on again and I am Chaffed all over again! Why would OLD SPICE put something like this on the shelves! I am beyond angry and I will not use ever again. I will post this all over social media as well to get the story out!

I recently bought an Old Spice deodorant stick and have been using it for a couple days. The first two days were okay but I noticed on the third and fourth day I've been experiencing irritation/burning sensation in the arm area. What's the deal?

I forgot to take along my regular roll-on Arrid deodorant when I went away last weekend so used my boyfriend's Old Spice Sport stick deodorant on Saturday night and noticed the next night it felt like my left arm pit was raw. And sure enough on Monday morning my arm pit was bright red - like a burn, under my whole arm pit.... By Monday night it was burning hot and even with an ice pack I could not sleep from the pain. For some reason my right arm pit only had a small red line. I've tried Polysporin and a psoriasis ointment but will have to go to the Pharmacy to see if there is something else I can use to relieve the pain. I will be contacting Proctor & Gamble as well. Everyone who has posted a comment online needs to be speaking to the company as well in order to get it off the shelf.

Been a loyal consumer of old spice for a decade, and have used swagger for at least 4 years without a "noticeable " incident. Went camping with two of my boys 2 weeks ago, and had found a previous swagger in my camping pack from last summer. When opened it seemed a little different visually (maybe slimy) than usual, but it's not like these things have shelf life, right?

My husband and I both have used old spice deodorant before. We put on the original brand on after our shower and not 30 seconds later it started burning both of us. We tried wiping it off. It didn't help. We had to wash it off with soap and water. It still burned afterward. We didn't put on any other brand. We tried calamine lotion and benadryl cream. Both burned so badly. It made me dizzy. The only thing that seemed to soothe it a little was baking soda and water paste. But the next day even that didn't stop the pain. My husband's entire arm pit is red on both sides. Me being darker skinned it doesn't show but I hurts like hell.

Extreme burn and blistering from Old Spice Sport. Occasional red rash from Old Spice Sport but nothing I don't get from other deodorants. But recently used the Old Spice Sport and got an extreme rash and blistering. Clearly there is a chemical in this product that has terrible side effects.

My boyfriend used Old Spice Swagger Gel deodorant on each armpit today when it started to feel like it was burning him. He washed it off but it was too late. Looks like terrible burns and blisters. I was looking for what he can put on it since it's irritating him and he can't sleep, when I immediately came across many complaints. I am uploading pics. I thought it would be a little bit of a rash but it is bright red and pink with blisters! WHY is this stuff still being sold?

My daughter has burns under both arm pits from using an OS roll on product. I have contacted Procter and Gamble and they have only offered a refund of 13.98. I have sent them pictures and am still only getting how very sorry they are. I took her to a Dr today and because he didn't get to see her very angry blisters he called it a first degree chemical burn. Gave her script for an antibiotic with a steroid in it for a whopping 70.00. We have no benefits. I emailed them back again and told them I was going to seek legal advice on this matter.

My husband has not Old Spice for many years. However recently he brought the Old Spice underarm stick to try. The first time he used it he got burnt really bad under his one arm. We went to pharmacy who told him not to use it again and gave him some burn cream. I emailed Old Spice who asked me to call which I just did. I was told my husband must be sensitive to something inside the product, and he shouldn't use it again and that all they could do is reimburse the money for the product. When I mentioned about all the others online who's complained about being burnt by this product and other products, I was told I was only the second person in all her 3 years of working for the company who had complained. I told her that she should then do some research online and see the 100's if not 1000's pictures of burns from Old Spice. Again all she said was she would put my complaint and views to someone higher up.

My husband used his old spice deodorant for the first time and he had a burning sensation. The second time he used it, it left a chemical burn. We will be going to the doctor tomorrow.

My husband used Old Spice deodorant for the first time in years. He has burns that are red-purple under BOTH his armpits!! I looked online to see if I could find anything --- ARE YOU KIDDING ME?? Look at all theses complaints and people being BURNT!! I read one from 2009. What the heck --- They need to be sued. If anyone is taking action please let us know. Someone called them and told them --- they are doing NOTHING -- No company public notice saying, "Don't use it or return it." NO Pull from the shelves. NOTHING. I am going to find an attorney, this is blatant disregard for the well being of their customers.

I purchased the old spice body spray (hawkridge) today. I noticed directly after I applied the body spray to my body I received a stinging sensation. So I decided to Google it and I began notice that this is absolutely not anything new! It baffles me how this product, is still on the market. We pay good hard earned money for these product but they emphatically still allow it to be on the market! LUDICROUS!!!

Swagger Deodorant - So I just got home from my attorney's office. There is nothing he can do for me at this time considering the cost of the tests, etc. He did encourage me and the others on this thread that we should start a Class Action Suit. That would be the best way to go. Not only does Procter & Gamble get sued but the FDA also because of their lazy attitude with this! I have 1st and 2nd degree burns after visiting my doctor this morning. I was given Silverdine salve and Biaxum (antibiotic). The doctor is not sure if there is damage to my lymph nodes or if there is permanent skin damage. That being said, anyone know how to start this and who's on board??

Used Old Spice Swagger once and now I have a burn under my left arm pit. Always used Speed Stick. Got Old Spice Swagger for Christmas - just opened, brand new, used once and bam - piercing born pain in my arm. Thought I cut it or something taking a shower. Looked at it and pus, boils came out of it.

I used my husband's Old Spice Pure Sport Deodorant the other day. The following day I noticed my underarms being red and irritated. The left one has gradually got worse. I decided to Google what to do for an allergic reaction to deodorant. That's when I came across this website. I realized after reading the other posts that it's not an allergic reaction but most likely a chemical burn. I agree.. how can they be allowed to still sell this?!?! I'm glad I came across this. As of now, I'm not in severe pain and don't feel like I need to go to ER... but I will be calling my Dr asap! I will be throwing out the remaining Old Spice products we have and will be spreading the word on what a horrible product this is.

I recently bought old Spice Champion for the first time to try. After a week my arm pits began burning. Had major burning all around the armpits on both sides. Never had problem with any other deodorant ever. Very painful. Got pictures of burns if Old Spice needs proof? Something needs done!

I used this deodorant and instantly I noticed a burning sensation. Within a short time my armpits were so red and within a few hours I had burns caused by this deodorant. I have NEVER had a reaction to ANY other deodorant. This product should be pulled from the shelves and consumers reimbursed for their pain and suffering.

My husband has used Old Spice deodorant for years, the Swagger variety I believe, and it has worked and smelled great. So when it was on sale I bought a bunch of them to stock up since it's the only kind he uses. But as soon as he has opened a new bottle we noticed it has just quit working by noon. That is ridiculous. We tried it for about a week or two reapplying throughout the day. That is something that should not have to be done. They have obviously switched their product to make it cheaper and in doing this they are making it not work as is the case for my husband. And apparently they are also hurting people by rashes or chemical burns.

My son used Old Spice pure sport deodorant for the first time and experienced a burning sensations. He noticed that his armpits started blistering and began to turn dark purple/black in a circular ring, around the hairline underneath his armpits. He went to the hospital and was diagnosed with 1st degree chemical burns.

So I like Old Spice even though I'm a girl because it has a great long lasting scent. I lifeguard so I need a deodorant that can last long while I'm in the sun sweating. I had first tried Old Spice last year and had used the blue gel original. Later that day my armpits were itching and burning. I never used that one again. I wanted to try Old Spice again because I thought maybe it had been just that one kind and so I tried Bearglove (white kind) and the same thing happened! Even after I had showered and washed it off I was still itchy and in pain.

I started using the Old Spice body wash, so I decided to get the deodorant that matched the scent. After 2 days my armpits began chafing or so thought. I stopped using it and I tried to remember any recent events that would have lead to this but what I realized was that the deodorant was burning me. Both armpits, along the outside rim, were on fire. I mean ON FIRE!!! I had chemical burns that lasted about 2 weeks. They got worse each day for about a week after I stopped using the deodorant. The pain this item caused me was unbelievable.

I used Old Spice in a hurry one day while doing yard work and it was a big mistake! I felt a tingling on my right armpit for awhile then continued on with my day. Then the next day I woke up with a chemical burn with green puss coming out of it. It's day 7 now and the skin has become completely raw in two different spots. I've spent close to 50 dollars on different bandaging, tape and creams. I noticed that coconut oil started helping a little yesterday just keeping the area soft enough to move around at a some what normal pace.

I bought some Old Spice Swagger deodorant. I used it and noticed a little tingle but didn't give it much thought. The next day, I used it again and got a tingle, too, that got worse as the day went on. After a closer look, I had some burns. I discontinued use and guess what? No more burning but it hurt like you know what. I will never buy Old Spice again. They should have to meet certain codes because after I looked it up, evidently, a lot of people have had this problem. I think a good lawyer has enough evidence to make a good lawsuit. The deodorant and pictures is enough for me. Luckily, I had enough sense to stop using it.

I normally use Right Guard stick deodorant but my sister bought me Old Spice gel decoder. One day I was out of Right Guard and I decided to give old spice a try, even though I find gel deodorant to be sticky and uncomfortable. That day I did feel that my armpit had a tingling sensation. The next day I found that a stinging sensation was there, so I decided to not wear any deodorant at all.

Despite being a girly girl...I love the way Old Spice smells! And it doesn't leave my shirt all white! So about 2 weeks ago I started randomly using it. Not every day but here and there. Well, these bruise-like marks began showing up. It's been over a week since my last use and this is what they still look like. Not super painful but they are itchy and uncomfortable. Yikes! This is scary! Guess I'll go back to making my own.

My son decided to use Old Spice deodorant and ended up getting a severe burn. This is completely unacceptable and the company should be held to a standard just like any other consumer product.

I have used Speed Stick for years but decided to switch up and use Old Spice. The first day I used it I felt a itching sensation in my armpit so I figured it was mildly irritated so I threw it away going to go back to Speed Stick... not happening. My underarms are both completely burned. 1st and 2nd degree. Every day is getting worse and worse. I can't even sleep at night and it's turning black. I used it one day and this? I was horrified when I saw all the concerns and comments on the Internet. How has this company not been taken to court over this? I have attached pictures. I've been taking Benadryl and it's not even helping. I'm probably going to have to go to the ER and have them look at it. Something has to be done about this.

I usually use Speed Stick deodorant and I switched over just to try Old Spice. 2 weeks or so after using it, I start to see a rash surrounding my left armpit. I immediately stopped using the Old Spice deodorant after that. The rash was red at first then has been turning a dark purple/red color, also it burns every time I move. I'm super upset because Old Spice gets all these complaints and they like to play dumb. It's ridiculous.

Used Old Spice gel deodorant, next day had sore armpits. Next night used my phone so that I could see because I hadn't been able to shave because of soreness.. burnt and pus coming from one of the burns.

This morning I woke up and felt a sore under my arm pit so I took off my shirt and was like wtf, I had dry skin on both left and right side. I ran out of the deodorant I normally use so I started using my Old Spice deodorant that I had in the wash room mirror from before and I must had used it 2-3 times and I've never had armpits like this before - sore and ashy. Disappointed. (Got it from Shoppers Drug Mart who would have expected that.)

I have used Old Spice products for many years and have never encountered this problem. I applied Old Spice High Endurance Sport Gel to my underarms after showered and within minutes began feeling a burning sensation. It not only affected my underarms but my hands as well. I was very frustrated and can't believe Old Spice would release such a product. I know for a fact that it was the deodorant gel, not any other fragrance or chemical-based product I had used at that time.

Burning skin, overly pungent aroma, wheezing. I ran out of bar soap in the shower and found that my wife had purchased this product (Old spice Extreme body wash) in the vanity grabbed my loofah and scrubbed up, Big mistake! Very pungent and a burning sensation all over my skin. Toweled off and dressed. Started developing asthma symptoms, showered again with a sensitive skin non-fragrance bar soap my wife has for her face and the smell still has not dissipated. It has been six hours and I needed to use my rescue inhaler, ridiculously strong right into the garbage can, nasty stuff!

I used old spice deodorant for the first time and I used it for two days only. Started feeling my underarm getting tender as heck. And I looked and it was getting red. Went home, took shower to wash it off and never used it again. For 4 days later just continued to get worse, darker red and much more sorer. Started to look like a curling iron was stuck under my arm and ON and left for an hour to burn the arm pit. AWFUL. SO I then looked up on day two of my injury on the Internet and seen A WHOLE BUNCH OF PEOPLE experience the same outbreak. INSANE TO ME, nothing is being done about this!!!!

I too have been literally burned by Procter & Gamble's Old Spice crap and I am not letting them get away with it. I hope you selected an option to have an attorney contact you about this issue. Let's stop complaining and start taking action. Please respond with action steps to bring this to the nation such as bring it to the media and such. Talk to you soon.

I have been using Old Spice Pure Sport body spray for a decade and it has been fantastic. Recently, they changed the short stubby can to a tall can to match the newest line of animal inspired scents (Wolfthorn, etc.). However, they also changed the spray's formula and when I used the newest version of pure sport body spray, it took about 15 minutes and my armpits were burning like I had scraped them raw. I had experienced this a few years ago when trying to use the Old Spice Pure Sport deodorant stick, so I knew what was going on.

My wife got me an Old Spice deodorant stick 3 years ago. It had a fantastic fragrance, but I noticed a stinging sensation after a few days of use. When I looked under my arm I saw burns under my arms. I concluded that the product must have been adulterated. Some time this year, I saw an Old Spice deodorant stick (Classic) and I have used it for a month and I have not recorded any issue. This encouraged me to get the Old Spice Wolfthorn Deodorant spray, fantastic fragrance, but it has left my body burnt, with rashes breaking out all over. I wonder why P&G have not done anything about the volume of complaints on their products. This has to be looked into. I will never patronize the brand again.

My 14 year old granddaughter absolutely loves all of the new Old Spice products that have recently come out. In fact, she recently received several gift sets for Christmas. I noticed last week that her hair looked very nice and she told me she was using the Wolfthorn shampoo. So of course I tried it. I used it on Sunday night. All day Monday my face felt weird, dry, itchy. By Tuesday morning I woke up with swollen red eye lid and cheek on the right side of my face. Not knowing what it was from, thinking maybe I had eaten something I shouldn't have, I used the shampoo again Tuesday night. By Wednesday the rash had grown, by Friday morning it was on both sides of my face, burning, itching and my eyes were beginning to swell shut.

Old Spice Pure Sport Deodorant - This deodorant caused my fiance to have a serious rash in his armpit with a burning sensation and peeling blistering skin! Don't use this product as you can see from all the other comments on this site, it's a horrible product that should not be on the market!

I'm in Europe, I went to the supermarket and bought the new "Old Spice Whitewater." After using it for a couple of days I got bad armpit burns, the pain was killing me. The only solution is Aloe, painkillers and antibiotics. I'm lucky I bought travel insurance! Please stay away from Old Spice, I don't know how they let them sell these crappy products if there are so many complaints around the world.

Swagger deodorant - Only two days of use completely fried the skin under my arms. Excruciating at the least.

I used Old Spice Classic deodorant as a teenager for about 3 days. The first time I used it, I thought it was supposed to tingle a bit, but over the course of the next few days I developed a huge rash under each arm. It burned so bad I had to wash them in cold water and couldn't use deodorant until about 5 days later when it finally went away. Just out of curiosity, I put a cigarette lighter to it just to see what would happen. Low and behold it caught fire instantly and burned until I ran water over it. The blue deodorant stick contains denatured alcohol, which is highly flammable. It was another 10 years or so before I went near another Old Spice product. I tried the Champion antiperspirant (white stuff) and never had a problem. I currently alternate between Fiji, Swagger, Lionpride and the new Timber scents, and have had no trouble. I have come to the conclusion that the antiperspirants are much safer and more effective than the deodorant sticks.

I woke up two mornings ago with terrible pain in my armpits. I thought maybe I got sweaty in the night and had heat rash. Today, still in agonizing pain I looked up what could be the cause of my pain and immediately it popped up with old spice deodorant. I have been using old spice lately (as a woman) because I like the scent. But never again. I am a waitress and working with this has brought me terrible pain. For others experiencing this, tip number 1 - thrown out old spice. Tip number two, aloe Vera seems to be the only thing that helps the pain.

I ran out of my usual deodorant and found a container of Old Spice Deodorant in my bathroom closet. I was on my way to get a haircut so I applied it under my arms and scooted out the door. It wasn't long before I noticed a burning in my armpits. By the time I got home, I was in severe pain with dark red patches in both armpits. I promptly washed them out as good as possible, the whole time feeling as though someone lit them on fire. It has been six days now and both armpits are pussy and the skin has been coming off along with severe pain! I made sure I have documentation to back up my claims. This is **!!

About three days ago, I went to the gym after a hard day. I came home, took a shower, put on deodorant after the shower, and went to bed. The deodorant I used was Old Spice Matterhorn. It was a new tube, but I've used this brand for as long as it has been out. Previously, I've used other Old Spice tubes pretty much every day for more than 10 years without a problem. I did nothing differently. At about 4 in the morning, I woke up after dreaming my left shoulder and arm were on fire. I was in a cold sweat and noticed I was in actual agony even while awake. My left underarm was in excruciating pain of a kind I've experienced once before in my life: in 2009, I was admitted to Sunnybrook Hospital's burn ward for emergency invasive treatment of acid burns to my hands caused during a metal assaying accident. I know what a chemical burn feels like.

I have 1st and or 2nd degree burns right above the hairline of my left armpit from the deodorant, it is day 3 and the pain is getting worse. At first I thought it was just irritation, I googled old spice and found out that many people are suffering from the same thing. They need to take it off the damn shelf.

I have used Old Spice deodorant for years. The other day I tried Swagger and almost immediately I had a burning sensation under my left arm. I did not use it under my right arm as my left was burning so much. Later in the day my armpit was burning so much I decided to take my shirt off and see what was going on. I could not believe what I was seeing. The area was bright red and there was a whitish substance in my armpit. Taking a shower did not ease the discomfort but did get the white pus out of my arm pit. Today I have difficulty in raising my arm and still have the whitish substance. I decided to go online to see if there was some information about burns and was very alarmed by the complaints regarding Old Spice deodorants with the same symptoms as mine. I will not be using anything made by Old Spice in the future. There is an obvious problem with this product and it needs to be taken care of.

I bought Old Spice for my boyfriend. He used it and then started complaining about his armpits hurting. Long story short his armpit skin burned off and I had to get ointments to help the scabbing. It healed. No thinking about anymore after that until my nephew who I bought the same product for just came to me complaining about the same type of soreness and I see redness in his armpits. I told him to discontinue use after I just googled all these other complaints.

I have been using old spice for years and I love the older line of the old spice. I tried using the newer old spice line and it does not work as well and it also makes my underarm sore. It gives me a little burning feel with some redness. I would never use the newer items again but i do still use the older old spice from time to time because that to me is the best kind out there. However, since I found out that a lot of deodorants have Aluminum Zir something in it, I have been making my own deodorants from scratch. Aluminum that is in old spice along with most other deodorants has been linked to all kinds of health problems (from what I found). Because of this, I have cut back on my store bought deodorants just to be on the safe side. However, if old spice does make a more natural deodorant I would be more than happy to buy some as long as my underarms don't burn.

On Friday, 10/24/14, after running out of my usual deodorant, I decided to use my husband's Old Spice gel stick deodorant (He normally uses another brand anyway). In less than 12 hours after that horrible mistake, I have suffered 1st-degree chemical burns to both of my armpits, which are very painful, and at times unbearable! It has already been 4 days, and the redness, swelling and burning pain have only gotten worse, causing me physical disability. I cannot live my life as usual right now because Old Spice refuses to take responsibility for their product. When I called them yesterday, I was asked a series of questions and offered a $5.00 check. Can you believe the nerve?!?

I have used Old Spice for a while now and haven't had many issues with it. Occasionally I would experience some itching in my armpits after applying Old Spice High Endurance Deodorant. I didn't worry about it because I thought it was my shirt bothering me. About two days ago I felt the itching sensation again. Again I didn't worry about it. The next morning I woke up with an extreme burning sensation in my underarms. It got to a point where I could hardly lift my arm. I noticed the skin in my armpits was starting to peel off so I started applying Johnson and Johnson First Aid Cream for minor cut and burns. This soothed the pain a little but it still wasn't bearable. I have heard that itch creams like cortisone help so I will try it out. It has been three days and still no improvement. I'm through with Old Spice Products for good. :(

Old Spice Swagger Deodorant - Use of this product caused 1st and 2nd degree burns to my underarms.

I have been using old spice swagger for at least a few years and love the smell. All of a sudden a few days ago I got a circular rash that burned very bad under both pits. Just like the other articles, hurt so bad couldn't even open my arms too wide. went to the dermatologist and he said off the bat it was from my deodorant which i questioned since I had been using it for a long time. I stopped using and he gave me a steroid cream so hopefully takes care of it. I need to take pics and post them but they look exactly the same as the others. I thought i had ring worm or yeast infection at 1st.

I'd use Old Spice deodorant from time to time and it would give me a little mild irritation - the island/mountain series. I went to using the antiperspirant and had little irritation. After a few months I tried the deodorant again and now I am in agony. Really bad burn.

I am a regular Old Spice Lime deo consumer. Recently I bought the new Lime Deo of Old Spice. The smell of this new deo is not only bad but also causing headache. It is different from the old lime deo. I think I have been cheated and request the company to revert back to old formula for this product to win back customers.

I usually buy 2 deodorant sticks at a time and it is always the old spice swagger brand. I have been a customer for years with no bad experience. I recently opened and started using a new stick. I didn't feel anything at first as I was in a rush to get somewhere. While driving I felt an itchy tingling sensation. I thought nothing of it and figured it was normal, kinda how mint gives a cool tingle freshness. I got to my destination and was sitting in a chair and my armpits had become constantly itchy. I couldn't take it anymore, I thought it was my shirt irritating my armpits or something. So I went to the bathroom and took my shirt off to look and see what was happening. I saw large area of redness, I thought it was an allergic reaction or something. Keep in mind I am 25 years old, and I have never experienced an allergic reaction to anything, not even during allergy season and not even when using straight chlorine to clean my pool deck.

I have been using Old Spice for years and recently I wore a new stick and 10 hrs under my arm and it gave me such a bad chemical burn it actually scarred my armpit. It is almost healed now but still hurts a lot and this is the second time. At first I hadn't suspected my deodorant because it was only one pit but after a reoccurrence I now know it to be Old Spice deodorant.

I have used Old Spice in the past and usually alternate between brands. I have not previously had any negative experiences with this product until 9/24. I used the product on 9/23 the day before and woke up the following morning with burning pain under my arms. I went to the bathroom to have a look and noticed my skin was red & in fact raw in some spots on the top & bottoms of my armpits on both arms. No other brand of deodorant has given me this experience. After I stopped using the product my pain has ceased finally 7 days later and is almost completely healed.

They changed the formula to blue from red, and now it stinks. I used it and loved it and now I think I'll just quit bathing. I feel violated and ripped off. Did I just get a phony from Wally World? I pray. They blew it and I'm pissed off. Container faded red pump, and soap blue not red and fragrance stinky and weak. Did they move to China or Mexico?

Like every other review here. I used the Old Spice 'High Endurance, Fresh.' A day or so later I started to experience my skin 'peeling' off under my arms. Then boom. Big red burns under my arm pits. I've been using Old Spice products for years. Have never experienced anything like it. It's like a bad 'batch' of deodorant. I have been unable to work in comfort, eat, sleep, every normal day tasks I can't complete. Thanks everyone else for posting in here as well. I've been looking for answers and finally found a few!

I've been using Old Spice Classic since I was a kid (my dad used it) and when they created the new stuff I was happy until I found out the new stuff doesn't work on me like the classic. I could literally put it on and I could go for 3 days without stink but the new stuff was leaving me stinky by the end of the day. Well now the classic isn't doing its job anymore and I'm quite sure they've changed the formula. Bummer after All these years (I'm 47). It just doesn't work like it did. It’s a conspiracy to get us to buy the new stuff by making it like the new stuff. If you go to buy it there's two classic smells and fifty of the new stuff. I'm so frustrated with this since I've had my wife and lady friends say I smell good. But now I've got to find a new deodorant because it simply doesn't work anymore.

One of my friends wears Old Spice deodorant (I believe it is one of the high endurance or swagger flavors). I felt very rude asking him not to wear it at my house anymore cause, but I had no choice as I cannot tolerate the smell. The smell is so strong that it lingered in my house for hours after my friend was gone. When I am near someone who is wearing this toxic deodorant I have constant recurring thoughts of blowing my brains out. While I don't recommend using this product as intended, it may be useful as a pesticide, chemical warfare, or to torture device..

I used this years ago when it first came to market as I got it for a Christmas present. I had no idea that red zone meant it would burn my armpits into red zones as it did. It hurt like hell for 2 weeks after I used the deodorant and I could hardly move my arms because of it. There has to be a chemical in it that burns your skin as it was really bad like I had poured boiling water under my armpits. I'll never ever buy Old Spice brand products ever again!

The Old Spice original deodorant I used before was having the original smell, which was manufactured by Rubicon formulations Pvt Ltd, Waluj and was priced 150 rs but now the same old spice original deodorant I'm using was charged 180 rs and the smell is different. Not like Old Spice original and manufactured at Midas Care Pharma, Waluj. I'm very angry and I have bought the old and new from the same store. Please ans, I'm not satisfied with this product. I have been using Old Spice original for near a decade. Now I'm using Axe chocolate. I have kept the Old Spice original bottle but I miss the original, where can I buy it? I'm also scared that, will it smell like original? So please check.

Are all the complaints about Old Spice deodorants based on the HIGH ENDURANCE styles? I have used Old Spice Fresh Scent (NON-high endurance style) for 20 years and never had a problem. And lately I have been using their new Belize scent antiperspirant with no issues. Just wondering, because I have shied away from their HIGH ENDURANCE brands ever since they introduced them because I don't like any of the scents, they all seem to have way too strong an odor for me. Maybe I'm lucky I didn't try them.

To anyone that has used Old Spice and has been burned by it read this article to help it go away. I recently went swimming and found the next day my arm in pain with a tender red ring. I ignored it and thought it would go away. My arm got worse and I could not lift it because of the pain. I thought it was a ring worm a fungi so I used lotion and a fungi cream to help. All that did was made it bearable. I finally just put regular neosporin (spell check) it has been two days. My dead broken skin is healed and I can move it much more freely with some extent.

After using Old Spice for quite some time, I switched to their deodorant/antiperspirant. Within 2 days, I have a horrible chemical burn under my arms - which I notice is already starting to blister. I am in extreme pain and extremely dissatisfied with your product. Hopefully this will heal within a timely manner, but if any serious medical bills and/or scarring will occur - I will be reaching out to my lawyer. With this amount of complaints, I am truly shocked nothing has been done. STAY AWAY!

I used old spice swagger 1 time. The next day I started to break out in rash so I applied rash ointment. Then I noticed my skin was starting to come off and it was really red and raw. After I realized it was just getting worse I decided to go to ER and that's when I was told it was not a rash from deodorant but a chemical burn. They prescribed a cream but it is not looking any better. It is in fact bleeding now. I am disgusted with the many complaints I've read that are similar to mine and can not believe this deodorant is still being sold!! Anyone know of any lawsuits against company?

I have been an Old Spice customer for years, and I have never had an issue with their product before. I recently bought a new batch of stick deodorant from them, and this morning was my first time using it. As soon as it touched my skin, I began to feel an uncomfortable itching and burning. Twenty minutes later, I arrived at work and the sensation started to get much worse. I went into the bathroom and used a wet towel to try to remove the deodorant, but had only moderate success. As I write this, the burning continues. An angry red rash has formed in my armpits, and nothing I've tried so far has been able to soothe the pain. I have a getaway planned this weekend for my girlfriend's birthday, and we're supposed to leave tomorrow morning. I can't wait to explain the sexy, bright red welts under my arms to her. Thanks Old Spice.

Almost word for word experience and rash from the referenced brand of Old Spice. We don't have Obama Care-less, so it makes us angry that we have to seek medical attention for this problem. My husband has used Old Spice several times in the past. Something seriously wrong with this chemical burn batch!

Applied old spice, pure sport high endurance deodorant and have used the product in the past with no issues. Recently I developed severe chemical burns that are painful. Seems as if they have a bad batch or new formula. This is ridiculous how bad it burns you.

Used Old Spice antiperspirant and body wash for 15 yrs, no problems. Went on vacation over 4th of July and used the Wolfthorn regular deodorant stick and started to burn a couple days later from using it. Tried Gold Bond to keep it dry, didn't work... used straight aloe and it helped for a day but after one day when I applied aloe, it felt as though there was a blowtorch under my arm for 20 min. Went to E.R., and they tried to give me expensive creams to try. Went to dermatologist and she told me Vaseline only on the open wound and put me on steroids and antibiotics and swabbed puss for testing.

I've used Old Spice Pure Sport High Endurance for a couple years now and have been a loyal customer. Recently, I began feeling a burning sensation in my armpits which turned into open sores. I thought I was having an allergic reaction to something but not sure what since I haven't made any changes in any of the personal care products or detergents in our household. I started doing some research and realized others were having the EXACT SAME problem and have pictures of the same type of burns/sores! BUYER BEWARE!
