I apply roll on deodorant on my armpit after bath. I have a doubt that whether I should use or not as I think I am blocking the pores which is not good. Does using it daily for a long term will have some side effects?

Hello- yes it is harmful, because deodorants block the sweating pores of skin thus preventing sweat and keep you dry after application. >however sweating is a natural phenomenon of body to maintain the body temperature according to the environment. >in short term it can cause skin irritation, skin diseases and can cause skin cancer too if used for a long period.
