What Lead To Knot Below My Ear?

A few months ago, I had a knot (bump) come up below my left ear. Yesterday, I was messing with it, and it popped really loud, but it popped INSIDE. This morning, it was still there, but it had elongated downward, and it has the whole left side of my face and neck area hurting like crazy.
