When i squeeze my armpits a smelly white pus comes out. showering and deodorant doesn't help and it seems to happen more often after i shave. how do i get rid of the smell and what might it be?

In order to express pus, you must also have swelling and/or redness. You could have a sebaceous cyst, other skin infection, or perhaps the condition called hidradenitis suppurativa. See a doctor soon. Good luck.
