chemical burns

I was diagnosed with severe chemical burns in 1986. It had a crust or scab approx. 1-1 1/4 inch thick and it ozzed a sick smelling greenish white pus. I was also told this would probably cause cancer. I was diagnosed with MCC in the same spot in 2003. The chemical was a moskito repellant we were issued by the military. At the time of my mcc diagnosis, I was shown a .med website that linked mcc with chemical burns. Do you think this was a probable cause of the mcc, and is there any lititure linking chem burns and mcc or carcinomas?
