UNLIKELY TO BE CANCE: I will advice you get it checked by your doctor or a dermatologist.It is not unusual to get red skin on scratching and if it only stays for a minute then I will not worry about the redness.My concern is why you are scratching your skin.It may due to allergy or some other cause Get it checked for your concern It does not suggest Cancer
