Thanks for your question on HCM.
In my opinion you should not worry much about cancer as you are too young to have cancer.
I think you should get done biopsy from the lesion and get done histopathological examination.
Since you are having recurrent lump on skin, biopsy is needed.
Mostly it is infection only. But better to get done biopsy.
So consult dermatologist and discuss all these.
