Could this be aluminum detox?

I've been getting red sores and cysts in my armpits after I stopped using aluminum containing deoderants, not every day, but repeatedly. A large and very painful cyst appeared this morning that wasn't there yesterday. I just use baking soda and/or virgin coconut oil as a deoderant. I can't help but wonder if this is a detox from the years of aluminum poisoning in my armpits (heavy metal test did show high aluminum poisoning). If so, I guess it is a good thing, though uncomfortable. On the other hand, if it is just a bad reaction to my homemade deoderant, then I'm suffering needlessly. Anybody else have a similar reaction after getting off regular deoderants? Anything help to get rid of the problem?
Commercial aluminum free deoderants have too much alcohol in them, they burn my skin, so I can't use them, plus they don't work for me. The salt rocks don't work for me either. Baking soda/virgin coconut oil work better than even the aluminum filled deoderants. The oil alone is more soothing when I have the red sores, but doesn't work all day. Any other ideas on alcohol free and aluminum free deoderants, homemade or commercial, that work?

This is a reply to # 1,880,891I made a combination 50-50 tea tree oil and Sweet Orange essential oil mixture. I rub a little bit under each arm, works great for me. Be aware that the tea tree oil is a pretty powerful scent however

Is any deodorant "natural"?
Maybe the toxins need to leave the body unhindered.
Another way to look at it could be to use, say, herbals to "deodorize" from the inside. Parsley, for example, might help. Fenugreek has a pleasant scent. I have come to like turmeric a;most as well as basil.
Young Living has some more delicate blends. One smells like baby powder...naturally. Perhaps they would help if they were lightly dabbed somewhere else than your armpits.
Deodorant companies have spent a bundle training us that a deodorant must be used daily, and that it should last all day.
Maybe all that isn't true.
Humaworm has a tea that is based on the wonderful original Essiac four-ingrediant recipe. Its calles Hu-Mana-Tea. Aparently it bonds to toxins and helps to move them out the back door.
Perhaps a gentle 30-minute soak on a Himalayan Crystal Mineral Salts bath, or a week of regular, gentle, coffee enemas would help. I know for a fact that the salts bath reduces anxiety, instantly.

This is a reply to # 1,880,891I stopped using antiperspirant nearly 2 years ago but I didn't go through anything with cysts so I'm not sure about that being a detox issue? You may be right that it's a reaction to what you started using in place of your regular deodorant so switching it up may be a good idea or going without to see if it clears up.
When I switched from using antiperspirant to natural I was a little stinky for a week or two while while my skin got "unclogged" from the gunk that seems to get locked in from not being able to sweat it out.
Now I use an all-natural cream deodorant from Bubble & Bee called Pit Putty.

It's been very good but it's definitely different than using a store bought antiperspirant so don't expect it to be the same. It does not stop you from sweating and you may need to put it on more than once a day if you are very active or live where it's warmer. We get so used to something that is supposed to "protect" us from odor all day that it's a step back using something natural but I feel so much better about putting this on my body that I don't mind a little extra maintenance to be healthier in the long run.
