Ask as often as you want. Facts do not change. Cancer is at the bottom of the list of possibilities. These are often just small cysts formed from trapped secretions in the glands at the base of hairs that sometimes grow from that site. Get it checked if you wish but I would not loose sleep over it. It may go away on its own.
