I really hope so, because my son uses deodarant now. He also started at 6. Granted he hasn't had any allergic reactions.

I think you need to ask the doctor.  Even so, I think it's too early to start antiperspirant, maybe other kind of deodorants.

My son has the same issues and he's been having them since he was about 7.  I've waited until now (he's almost 9) bc I didn't want to use anything with chemicals on him.  But now, I'm going to have to.

I've heard that Arm & Hammer is good and not too strong.  I would also recommend unscented Dove perfume, it's a girl one but it might not be as strong as men's.
