I have a small, raised, pink area on my skin. it does not itch or crust over. could it be cancer? i was diagnosed with eczema in february. my eczemic rashes look similar, but they itch and sometimes crust over. should i see a dermatologist?

Unlikely...but: I think what you describe is unlikely to be anything significant as cancer at your age. I would discuss the site with your regular doc at any upcoming encounter. If they have concerns they can decide if a dermatologist visit would be worth your time.
