hello friend,
The description you have given is very unlikely a cancer.
It seems as if you are having recurrent folliculitis/furuncles that is an infection of hair follicle with/without surrounding skin involvement.
You should visit your doctor so that proper examination can be done and correct advice can be given to you.
friend, dont worry, its highly unlikely a cancer.
