1] don't shave for a few days, 3 to 7, depends on how it heals
2] keep area as cleanas possible - wash with warm water and mild body wash, dry gently and thoroughly, and put a tiny bit of antibiotic ointment on it
3] no deodorant or powder until area heals up
4] always change razors/blades after 4 uses max - the blade gets dull, and nicks instead of shaves
5] use sensitive skin or extra protection GEL formula shave cream
6] wash armpits etc. thoroughly with warm water and body wash
7] then shave
8] dry thoroughly, before applying deodorant or antiperspirant
9] maybe you have become allergic to your deodorant?
10] if you get really itchy, blast your pits with the cool setting on your blow dryer!

Well, it sounds like razor burn. Make sure that your skin is wet and that you use plenty of shave cream when you are shaving because that could be causing it. Make sure that you are not pressing too hard when you are shaving. Also, maybe put a soothing cream (like Lubriderm) on the area after you shave. That might help it to heal. Make sure that your razor is not old or dull. Hope I helped!

It sound like razor burn try some Sudocreme or baby nappy rash cream on it you may have leaned to hard while shaving this sometimes happens to me .Very sore try not to scratch it only makes it worse.It will heal but leave it a wee while before you shave again.

ok first of all make sure you are going in the right direction i go sideways becasue the skin on your armpits are sensitive and so delecate ! after you shave, moisturise your armpits with something like erm.......cocao butter or something like like that ! if none of this work just experiment with different razors and shaving cream or even try and use what i use .... i use a ladyshave battery razor and it leaves no cuts no burns nothing if you go slowley with them they leave your legs and armpits lovely !!

Buy a different brand of razors. Razor burn is hell! They have some meds in the pharmacy for it.

sometimes when you shave, it a littloe thing just irritates your skin. its normal, dont worry about it and use some non-itch cream. it helps
