Razor bumps?: Pseudofolliculitis barbae is a fancy word for razor bumps.  More so in dark-skinned people, shaving closely with a razor can cause new very short hairs to grow down in to the skin, causing irritation.  It's also possible to have an acne-type response to shaving, and it's possible to introduce infection as well.  Warm compresses can be helpful, gentle cleansing with hypoallergenic soap.

Get it examined!: Many boils need to be drained for proper healing to take place. Most patients also need antibiotics in conjunction. I recommend getting seen by your provider and getting it drained under sterile technique. Get better soon!
