Hi..
Welcome to HEALTHCARE MAGIC..

I have gone through your query and can understand your concerns..

As per your complain pus filled blister under the arm that has pus and blood in it seems to be either an infected hair follicle or can also be due infected gland in the area of infection over the skin leading to formation of pus under the skin..
I would suggest you to gently clean the area with an antiseptic solution..
Start applying antibiotic ointment over it..
You should gently apply pressure over it and drain off pus..
In case if it does not resolve in a week consult a General Physician and get evaluated and a thorough clinical evaluation can be done..
Along with topical treatment you can also be advised a course of antibiotics and anti inflammatory painkiller like Ibuprofen..
If needed Incision and Drainage can be done to drain off pus and initiate faster healing..

Hope this information helps..

Thanks and regards.
