Suggest Treatment For Recurring Boil On The Chin

Question: I have a spot on my chin that I have had for a few months. At first I thought it was a pimple or blackhead but it didn't heal up. It is white-ish, clear-ish and gets a hard head on it. It bothers me and I end up taking it off usually with nail clippers (bad idea I am sure). It grows back within 3 or 4 days. This past week it seems to have doubled in size. It is still small but I am worried about its growth. I am wondering if this could be a pre-cancerous or cancerous growth.
