A member asked:

I have a hard attached lump which oozes both clear and thick white pus and will scab over but then starts irritating again. is it skin cancer?

Probably not: It sounds like a cyst or an abscess. It should be evaluated by a health care professional.

Possibly: That could describe both a benign infectious issue or a skin cancer. Best to have it evaluated by a doc.
