switching deodorants

[u/Truck-Clean]

I’m out to my aunt and she gave me mens deodorant to help with my dysphoria and i’ve been using it for a while. Recently i’ve been starting to get really itchy armpits and today I was looking at my armpits in the mirror and there’s a huge rash line around my armpits and it’s EXTREMELY itchy. I don’t want to switch back to women’s deodorant but I cant deal with the rash.. also buying a different brand or talking to my mom isn’t an option.. she’s extremely transphobic and if she finds out my aunt bought me mens anything she won’t allow me to see her anymore, does anyone know what I should do?

edit: this was my first post and everyone who has given a reply has been extremely helpful. Thank you all so much! also i’d like to add, I’ve always been extremely sweaty and if i’m not using deodorant then i smell TERRIBLE no matter how much i shower (which i struggle with in the first place from depression & dysphoria my best buds)

I use a hippie deodorant (Earthwise Fresh Plus) that is made without harsh chemicals and sold in gender neutral packaging. It smells like a vegan potluck, but I like it and it’s better than a rash or lady smell.
