Cyst

I popped a sebaceous cyst on my armpit (sac is out) and now my arm hurts when I move it, is that normal?

For the short term it could be normal from squeezing it out. The worse case scenario is getting a secondary skin infection called cellulitis which can be painful. If it doesn’t get better, go see your doctor

No it is not normal. You should follow-up with a physician to make sure the pain is not due to infection.
