Cut The Top Of Little Finger. After Healing, Skin Was Peeling, And White Ball Like Thing Popped. What Could It Be?

in october of this year i cut the top of my pinky finger open when trying to remove a battery from a car. it was deep but i kept it bandaged and all healed over. just last month my finger was sore as if i hit it again and the skin was peeling it became a sore and when i squeezed it a white ball like thing popped out (it was the size of a pin head) what would you think? it is healed again now with no pain
