Leave it alone 1st: If you keep on popping it, the lesion will never go away. I fear however that you might have introduced some germs into the lesion while popping it. If so, you may end up with some pain and pus in a couple more days. It may also be from fluid which may or may not require drainage.

Huge lump: Sorry, not a DIY problem. You have created a situation that would best be safely and efficiently treated by a skin specialist, a Dermatologist.
