Brief Answer:
Possibility of seabceous cyst
Detailed Answer:
Thank you. I have reviewed the Image.
Seems like it is a cyst i.e sebaceous cyst.
Scrotum is a common site for sebaceous cysts. Trying to pop it may have caused it to have a bruised appearance and hence looking bluish black in the image.
Does it feel soft or firm?
Regards

It feels soft when i touch it
Brief Answer:
A differential diagnosis of dilated vein could be considered.
Detailed Answer:
Hi.
If it is soft and compressible, i would also consider another possibility of a dilated vein i.e varicosity specially considering that it is a bluish black lesion. A doppler ultrasound of this region would clarify whether it is a cyst or a varicosity.

Hey just wanted to follow up, I uploaded a new image , I have not touched this bump in a couple days now and it got smaller and the coloring around it kind of went away, do you think it is still the same diagnostic
Brief Answer:
Seems like an ingrown hair or infected cyst which is now resolving
Detailed Answer:
Hi.
In this image I can see some desquamation/ peeling happening over it. Looks more like an ingrown hair Or may be an underlying cyst which got infected and is now resolving.
Unlikely to be a venous dilation.
