Are these bumps cancerous?

I have these two bumps on my breast. The first bump started to itch so bad I accidently scratched it and opened it and it became this scaley round shape. I didn't know what to do so I started to put peroxide on it. It looked like it was killing the infection and it looks as if it's going away slowly. The second bump opened on it's own and it's itchy, red, and there is some pus coming out. I am a smoker so I was looking up breast cancer but I really do need some help here. I'm scared out of my mind!!!!

Thanks to anyone who can give me some advice!

If you qualify most cities have some sort of free or sliding scale charge clinic. If you don't qualify then I would suggest that you talk with someone at your Dr.s office about a time payment plan. Self treatment can often do more harm than good. Peroxide will tent to destroy healthy tissue as well as diseased tissue and it is seldom recommended as a treatment. You might post your concerns on one of our other Forums too; Dermatology or Family Medicine are two that come to mind that might be helpful.   Regards ....

I can't go to the doctor they cut my medical issurance off and I don't have money right now to pay them. That's why I was asking if anyone knew what it could be from. The second bump that I had looked like a pimple and it went away but the other one that lookes like a scaley round thing is still there. It got smaller since I keep putting peroxide on it. The skin is really dry like if it was ring worm or something. I'm only 19 so I'm trying to get as much info as possible.

Rather than just being scared or looking up breast cancer or treating this problem yourself you need to see your Dr. for an opinion and some treatment. If you have an infection then Peroxide won't "kill" it ... you would need an antibiotic. Please see your Dr. .... and what you describe doesn't sound like anything related to breast cancer.   Regards ..
