It sounds like razor burn and yes it can really hurt. Don't use your deodrant, it will irritate it more. Use a feminine powder, ideally one for vaginal areas as this is very fine and usually not perfumed. It will help as it will absorb any sweat and it will help soothe the razor burn. Don't shave for a week or at least till the burn has gone. Good luck

Why do you shave every night???
Razors not only cut the hair, they cut the skin as well. (YES micro abrasions)
Try shaving only every three days or so, this will allow the skin to heal between shavings.
You can also try waxing... see a professional... the underarms have only a small amount of nerve- endings and this makes waxing easier than other body parts of the body.
Waxing is a great alternative to shaveing!
No cuts for the deodorant to seep through and irritate the delicate skin under your arms.
Plus... you only need to wax about every 3 months.
good luck

dude, maybe its the deoderant thats the problem. i used to use old spice a lot, and it progressively got more and more sensitive to the point where it hurt to put it on. switch brands, and my try anti perspirant if u use deoderant, or if you use deoderant (the clear), use anti perspirant (the white)
could be a reaction for sure.
try a different brand or try not wearing any at all if you have the weekend off or something. see if it clears up. sounds like an allergic reaction, and i would think it would make more sense that it was the deoderant rather than a reaction to the razor, unless youve started using a new kind of shave cream or something.

It could be razor burn. Wash your underarms thoroughly to get all the deodorant off and then slather them with bag balm. Sleep like that...they will heal up nice and quick. Best of luck. =o))

Perhaps quite using the deoderant
You will be a stinky beast for a while - but - who cares!
Just stay away from people for two or three days and watch the sore disappear - then because it was the deoderant causing the sore, you can start using it again when it has cleared up

you should let your underarms heal I know it discusting bla bla but thats what you need to do also, have you changed your deoderent, body wash etc. It might be an allergic reaction.

You may have developed an allergy to the fragrance in your deodorant. Try switching.

It is probably razor burn! But put lotion on it and don't shave it for awhile! See if it gets better.

Put lavina lotion on your sore area, its designed for what your saying and you can buy it at the drug store. It really helps!
