hello, what you have is called a cyst. they are very common for people to get. one reason you probably have it under your arm is due to sweat. you can pop them if you want its up to you but a sure shot way of ridding of it is to get it drained my a doctor. the reason you feel another one is because when you popped the first one oil or puss spread into the neighboring pores and spawned another one. Not something to worry about but my recommendation to you is to get it drained by a doctor.
