Hi..
Thanks for the query..

As per your complain a small pimple like lump on the face tat is observed after shaving looks like an Ingrown hair..

Ingrown hair is the one that curls back towards skin and grown towards the skin leading to inflammation and lump formation over the skin..

When the area gets infected then there can be pus formation..
Due to pressing there seems to spread of infection and looks like it has progressed to Cellulitis..

You should consult a Physician and get evaluated and he can advise you a course of antibiotics and anti -inflammatory painkillers along with topical application of antibiotic ointment..
Do cool compresses over the swelling..

If there is pus formation then Incision and Drainage can be advised..

Hope this helps..

Regards.

Hi.
Thanks for your query.
Noted the history your fondling a small lump making it large due to spread of edema.
Spread of infection.
Face has very loose subcutaneous tissues.
I would advise you the following:
Consult a Doctor.
Get a course of an antibiotic and anti-inflammatory medications.
Do not fondle.
Small incision if the abscess has already set-in.
