Hello;
welcome to HealthcareMagic
It is important to find the type of cyst but since it has popped and you have not mentioned any pain it may be a simple cyst and may settle on its own.If it had been a infected cyst then you may have had pain but still see for a few days and if you feel pain or discomfort then please consult a doctor for examination and treatment and if needed get a scrotal ultrasound done.
Thanks
