Hi.
Thanks for your query and an elucidate history.
This is a boil. Whatever the cause the treatment is same. You need a small course of an antibiotic and anti-inflammatory medicine like Ibuprofen, local application of liquid povidone iodine.
This will cure this .
Remember to put liquid povidone iodine before and after each shaving- this problem will not recur
