Hi,Welcome with your query to HCM virtual Clinic.
I reviewed all the details of your query,in context of the of the painful aftershave armpit lumps.
Based on the facts of your query,You seem to have Boil in armpit- post-shaving, and is not related to your sexual activity,as you are virgin.
Its not from the shaving cream,but is from the skin bacterial flora in the armpit which infects the shaved hairfollicles to cause it.
Don't squeeze it ,as recurrence is due to it also.
Consult your family Gp doctor who would treat in the best possible way for you.
Hope this reply would help you to plan treatment with your doctors and resolve your worries.
Will appreciate writing excellent review comments to help the needy patient visitors like you at HCM.

Welcome any further query and information in this regard.
Good Day!!
