Dear ryan,
This is (was) a sebaceous cyst. Unfortunately there’s a chance of it returning unless the entire capsule is removed, not just the cheesy material you managed to squeeze out. There isn’t really much point doing more DIY surgery now and you should just allow it to settle.
If it returns and gets to the same stage or larger than the first photo, try to see your doctor and see if they are willing to excise it under local anaesthetic. Often, the bigger it is the easier it is to remove.
Rgds,

thank you for the response. i think i was able to remove all of it. what is DIY surgery? is it serious?
DIY = do it yourself! Not recommended. See a doctor if the problem recurs.
