Hello dear Greetings
Regarding your experience with a popped out hard vein which is painless under your ampit I am suggesting it is varicose vein

This kind of veins may not constitute any form of danger in the ampit location except when it is located in your leg which may produce exacerbated symptoms

I hope this helps Regards
