'Dancing With the Stars'' Kelly Osbourne Reveals Body Spray Burns

Newly svelte Kelly Osbourne performed a well-received Samba on "Dancing with the Stars" last night, even planting a kiss on partner Louis van Amstel to cap off the spectacle.

But what really had people talking was Osbourne's Twitter page, where she revealed a photo of an angry-looking armpit which she claimed had been "burned" by a popular deodorant body spray.

"
Never ever use impulse body spray from the UK i sprayed it on myself and now have really bad burns all over my body gentle on skin my a**!" she tweeted.

Osbourne said she had to alter her "Dancing with the Stars" costume to hide the unsightly marks.

Impulse Body Spray has been on the market since 1972. Originally introduced in South Africa, the "perfume deodorant" is now the UK's "number one female body spray fragrance," according to Unilever.

As for what could have caused the reaction, a study by the CDC suggests that two of the body spray's ingredients could be to blame: "
Oxidized limonene and linalool are common allergens in dermatitis patients tested consecutively in Europe," the site stated.

Dr. David Bank, a Cosmetic Dermatologist, says "Fragrance is the number one cause of contact skin allergies, and can certainly cause rashes for some people. Look for fragrance-free of hypoallergenic products to minimize the chance you'll have a reaction."

Perhaps fellow Unilever brand Dove deodorant would have been better on the star's sensitive skin?

I try to always purchase items with NO fragrances in them but it's rather difficult to do. Also, when I was hospitalized the sanitizer they had for the medical staff had a STRONG fragrance in it which I was allergic to. I wish companies would stop adding fragrances to things. If somebody wants a fragrance they can buy perfume.

Read the article before commenting. It wasn't hair spray. It was body deodorant. I think Kelly's hair is a wig to go along with her clothes. She does look so cute. I'm proud of the change in her life.

CARL....take time to read the article....it was "deodorant/body spray", NOT hair spray.
how can you be so judgmental ? you're making assumptions based on WHAT ? based on your lifestyle ? Kelly's eyes are bright and clear, she shows no signs of using a mind altering substance!!! get a life!! quit trying to destroy this young woman' s reputation. what she did in the past is "NONE OF YOUR BUSINESS" !!

My husband had a large (the whole size of his right armpit) red area, it looked raw. He had been working in the garden and we thought perhaps it should be checked for a tick, etc. We went to the emergency and they did not find a cause except for dermititis and that is how they treated it with an antibiotic and cream. It cleared up within the week. If it had been deodorant, I would imagine it would be on both armpits.

Amen to the Unscented products - they're all I CAN use; shampoo, soap, underarm deodorant, face wash because of a severe fragrance allergy that started years ago. I used to be able to find unscented shampoos without any trouble but not anymore. I've called all the big manufacturers and asked WHY? Some said the unscented products didn't sell so they stopped - BIG lie since the unscented sold out before the stink ones. Some said they didn't know, at any rate I have to hunt all over for unscented shampoo and wind up buying Kiehls' because it's the only one that doesn't give me a rash.
That has become prohibitively expensive - it was NEVER cheap, I just want to go into ANY store and find shampoo without a scent! My dermo DR years ago told me no one should use anything with fragrance in it because it's harmful to the skin. Perfume is OK because you're not spraying it on in the shower where all your pores are open. Plus, scented dryer sheets are so concentrated that they cause severe dermatitis to anyone that's allergic - which I am. I've told people with 'incurable' rashes (resembles psoriasis) they stopped using dryer sheets and went to liquid fabric softener and their rashes went away.

I've had to use unscented deodorant for years. I used to get a burning rash and red bumps from any deodorant with fragrance, especially after I shaved my underarms. Now I use Dove unscented invisible roll-on, and I love it. My husband had the same problem, and I switched him to either Arm & Hammer unscented or Sure unscented. Both work really well.

If you have sensitive pitts use antibiotic ointment, kills bacteria which cause odor, and generally has a pleasant fragrance.

Dear Kellie,,,Don't shave then use any spray or deoderants, It could have been the material of your outfit and not spray at all or a combination of the outfit, spray and a new shave.

Wow, if that deodorant did that to Kelly's skin, now imagine what it must have done to the sensitive skin of shaved bunnies it was tested on. Don't buy Unilever!

Tina, don't worry about getting old. That's when you don't owe anybody anything, you have money in the bank, can purchase anthing you want, go to the grocery store and not have to worry about the price of eggs can travel if you want to or stay home by the fire, and don't have to impress a damn soul.
Believe me honey, you don't have to worry about getting old if you stop trying to keep up with the Jones, save a little every week, don't go in debt for anything where the interst is almost as high as the payment and just let it happen and enjoy your retirement.

The only deoderant that I can use is Almay for sensitive skin. All others break me out. I think it's the aluminum compund. On the other hand my daughter can use all kinds of lotions and potions, but has to use dye free/perfume free clothes detergent or she breaks out. go figure...everyone's different.

I always by natural deodorant roll-on's or sprays, with no aluminum at all. Don't need th eanti-perspirant, especially if you put the deodorant on right after a shower. Has worked well over the years. My husband's college chemistry professor scared him into NOT using anti-perspirants, so he has always used natural minerals. That began in the early 70's. Many of the natural deodorants have a pink ribbon on them and state that the american cancer society approves their use. So, why not?
