Suggest Treatment For Ruptured Cyst On Scrotum

Hi, I have had an increasing cyst in the form of a hair follicle on the scrotum. I had it checked by the doctor. I went on a bike ride and came back to notice it had been pierced. I gently squeezed out some puss and blood and now am wondering if I can apply Betadine antiseptic ointment to the area?
