Hello and Welcome to ‘Ask A Doctor’ service.
I have reviewed your query and here is my advice.

Bumps like these on the scrotal skin are common and they are most of the times scrotal sebaceous cysts. Although it is not harmful but manipulation with it often leads to infection within the sebaceous cyst, since you have tried to puncture it in non-sterilized environment, it is now most probably infected and you should seek medical attention as soon as possible.
If you would have come to me in such condition I would have started you on antibiotics from Quinolone group for oral use and fusidic acid ointment for topical use. Once the infection settled I would have offered you surgical removal of the cyst.

Hope I have answered your query.
Let me know if I can assist you further.
