My husband had a pimple like bump on his shaft he popped it, then a small hole appeared, and now it seems it has gotten bigger what could it be?

Sebaceous cyst: He probably had a sebaceous cyst. Popping it was not a good idea. If it is not showing signs of healing, he should see a doctor to prevent it from getting infected. For good health - Have a diet rich in fresh vegetables, fruits, whole grains, milk and milk products, nuts, beans, legumes, lentils and small amounts of lean meats. Avoid saturated fats. Exercise at least 150 minutes/week and increase the intensity of exercise gradually. Do not use tobacco, alcohol, weed or street drugs in any form. Drink enough water daily so that your urine is mostly colorless. Practice safe sex. Get HPV vaccine.
