Hi.
This may be due to an infected sebaceous cyst or just a boil or a infected lymph node.
Due to popping up the edema increased and spread in the line you exlained.
I would advise you to stop popping.
Do not touch except for hot fomentation.
Take a course of an antibiotic and anti-inflammatory medicines .
You will get alright an the lump may vanish.
If it does not resole within a few days, get FNAC also done as well as blood, urine tests done and may be change over to another antibiotic.
