Hello,
It is an abscess and you have drained the pus by popping out the whitish pus-like discharge from it. you will need an oral antibiotics (such as cloxacillin) or a topical such as clindamycin or erythromycin cream on the affected area and associate with an anti-inflammatory such as ibuprofen.

Wish you the best.

Hi punx ! Don't irritate that area. Clean the surface with spirit. Apply wound cream or betadine, apply cotton and bandage, so it won't rub . Wear new under wear, wash old with dettol, take antibiotic like ciprofloxacin and pain killer like diclofenac. If situation remain same please consult your doctor. Be healthy .bye.
