Brief Answer:
Looks to be infected sebaceous cyst

Detailed Answer:

Hi,

From the short history this looks to be an infected sebaceous cyst.

I would advise you the following in such a situation:
Do not try to pop or fondle as this will increase swelling and spread the edema.

I think you need to take an antibiotic (needs a prescription) and anti-inflammatory medication like Ibuprofen if it suits you.
Wait for a few days - it may settle on its own.

I hope this answer helps you.
