Is it safe to block your sweat glands using driclor and other clinical strength antiperspirants? (Photo)

The risks of aluminum on the sweat glands is not well known. You might want to consider MiraDry for underarm excessive sweat as it leads to permanent results.Good luck. Dr. ALDO 

There is some recent controversy amongst antiperspirants which use aluminum and paraben as potentially being toxic and carcinogenic which has popularized the use of all natural deodorants.  Local reactions are common with aluminum based antiperspirants and they are not effective for everyone.  It is unlikely that the use of aluminum based antiperspirants will lead to this and previous research suggests this as well (1982 study by Morgan and Leicester)

Yes Driclor is safe and would not cause hydradenitis as this is a condition of a genetic predisposition with factors such as overweight and smoking increasing the severity . Driclor can cause irritation and should be used at night on dry skin and washed off in the morning and frequency titrated down to a couple of times per week
