Hello,
Sounds like you had a epidermoid cyst. These are not uncommon and usually are harmless. They can be filled with air, blood, pus, oils (sebaceous oils). On occasion they may be cancerous (rare). If that is the case then it needs to be removed surgically. However, you poped your and removed the materials. The black string stuff was probably old sebum that had oxidized and turned black. This is not unlike a blackhead on your face. I'm not sure what your light headedness is about other than maybe you were grossed out by the experience and that made you feel faint. Not unlike getting a shot (needle) from the doctor. You may be afraid of needles and your fear made you feel dizzy from fear. I don't think you have anything to worry about at this point unless it gets infected again.
