They are called "skin tags," and you can get them on eyelids, necks, armpits, etc.
Cutting them off is likely to cause bleeding, slow healing time and possible infection, though there's nothing essentially wrong with it. That is generally how smaller ones are dealt with, though sometimes a string is pulled around them to cut off blood supply, or they are frozen or burned off.

Axillary infections are infections of the skin or lymph nodes located in the armpits. The most frequent cause of axillary infections is shaving the hair of the armpits which can result in small irritated bumps or cut skin. These bumps or cuts may then be subject to bacterial invasion, causing infections. Young girls, who have just recently begun shaving under the armpits, are most at risk for axillary infections. Axillary infections can be reduced by using soap and water while shaving and by making sure the razor used is clean. This can generally be accomplished by dipping the razor in alcohol for about sixty seconds prior to use. Axillary infections may also be the result of ingrown hairs occurring after one uses depilatory creams like Nair or when one has his or her armpits waxed. Axillary infections of this type may feel like a hard bump that is painful to the touch. Should such a bump not resolve with hot compresses within a day or two, or should the bump start releasing pus, you should see a doctor.

Do you want a natural remedy?
you can remove skin tags with a little piece of garlic. Cover with a bandaid each night and remove in the morning. Do this for a few night until it falls off.

They are called skin tags. They have no purpose and increase frequency with age, weight, or pregnancy. You can have them removed by a doctor..or you can tie a piece of thread around the base( close to the skin) and wait until it falls off on it's own.
