[NP-Clinical] Axillar rash

[Priscilla Merrill]

I mentioned in the post that she switched to Tom's which helped temporarily.
She's an athlete so my first thought was fungal where not itchy.  It stings
tremendously.  Is there anything milder out there than Tom's??  She balks at
going without deodorant and the stones are not effective.  Thanks for the
thoughts,

Priscilla
