Dear Mooch62,
I doubt that it is cancer. However, it is a good idea to get it checked out by a dermatologist. It could be something simple, like acne or something.
Hope this helps and good luck.

shortly after my plastic surgery (rhinoplasty and breast aug) in Dec 2005 I began getting large warm red swollen areas on my breasts that would eventually form what looked like a small blister, and then burst to leave a deep open hole. i went to multiple doctors for a year who told me i was "breaking out." until one day it spread so bad that it looked like I had fallen face/neck/chest first into a huge fire ant hill. i was told i had staph (finally, an answer). after being on medication for the last 2 years, i am still not cured and am actually being told that my cultures are coming back negative for staph. the antibiotics seem to slow the symptoms down, but a month or two after...sometimes only a week or two after...it comes back and is usually worse than before.
i have posted a few photos in my profile..and was wondering if you had any idea what i'm dealing with...
thank you for your time!
