Hi..
Can understand your concern..

As per your complain as you popped up the boil there might be some infection in the lesion leading to inflammation which causes accumulation of inflammatory cells in that area along with some collagen fibres and blood vessels leading to formation of a small lump like structure..

I would suggest you to see a doctor to get evaluated for the exact cause of lump formation..
If it is due to infection causing inflammation oral antibiotics and topical application of antisseptic steroid gets can help..

Maintain good oral hygiene..

Hope your query is solved..

Thanks and regards..
