Welcome to the Forum and thanks for your question. I'll be glad to comment
The bottom line here is that when you noticed the bump you picked at it and apparently it has gone away. What you describe does not sound like a wart and certainly would not have been readily removed by picking at it. What you describe does sound more like a cyst of some sort 9ncluding a Fordyce spot although, as you point out, Fordyce spots are more typically yellowish in color. There are a huge number of dermatological processes that can cause cystic lesions of the sort you describe. If it recurs, don't pick at it and get it looked at. Hopefully it will not be back although, to be honest, it would not be at all surprising to me if it did recur. Certainly what you describe does not bring any STI to mind.
Hope these comments are helpful. EWH
