Hello dear I understand your concern It is just due to infection of the hair follicle. Physical examination will help in the diagnosis. Take following advises: take tablet cefixime Apply local ointment of bacitracin Apply warm pad application
Cancer is not related to infection. Cancer cause hard non moveable mass with discharge of blood and has feature of gradually increase in the size with altered skin texture. Hope this may help you
