Home Remedies for Armpit Lumps

1. Warm Water Compresses

An age-old home remedy to treat an armpit lump is warm compresses. The hot temperature helps increase blood circulation, reduce the size of the lump and ease pain.

• Soak a thin towel in hot water.
• Wring out the excess water.
• Place the towel under your armpit for 5 to 10 minutes.
• Repeat 3 or 4 times daily for a week.

2. Vitamin E

Vitamin E is a powerful antioxidant that can help treat an armpit lump within a few days. In addition, it reduces swelling and prevents fluid buildup in the lymph nodes. It also helps retain moisture and facilitate skin repair.

• Massage the lump with vitamin E oil for a few minutes, 2 or 3 times daily for a week.
• Also, take vitamin E supplements after consulting a doctor or eat a diet rich in foods with vitamin E. Some foods rich in vitamin E are almonds, sunflower seeds, spinach, avocado, extra-virgin olive oil, Swiss chard, asparagus, turnip greens, beet greens and others.
