Hi and thanks for posting us.
The possible options in your case are sebaceous cyst or folliculitis. Do not worry. Think of the common possible causes before arriving at a diagnosis of skin cancer which seems unlikely in your case. I think you should get it evaluated by your primary care physician. If it is folliculitis treatment with antibiotic cream may help but if its sebaceous cyst it needs to be excised. Take care and keep us posted!
Hi..
It looks like an hair follicle infection..
Can you please tell that does it improve and recur or is it continuously spreading?
Did you use any medication topically or orally?
Please revert back.
Regards.
Hi,
My opinion is it is multiple sebaceous cysts ,but it should be investigated by a dermatologist and it is better excised.
Hi
No it is not cancer, it is just hair follicles staff infection, topical antibiotics will solve the problem
Good Luck
