I'm almost 21 years old, I am overweight, cancer runs in my family, but not breast cancer. I have these bumps, I get them where I sweat alot, my breasts-NOT on the brown part;around or under breasts, back of the neck, inner thighs, and armpits. Theyre just like pimples, blood/pus comes out, and I do have average to a little worse face/body acne, but these bumps are huge, almost like sores.....some go away and dont come back, then others leave a tiny bump after the most of it goes away. Does this have to be breast cancer or tumors? Do I have any hope for something else?? I haven't gotten serious about going to the doctor just because I'm scared to death, but now I'm deciding it's time to go, so I'm hoping you can give me some light before I get there, and if not then don't sugarcoat it, thanks so much for yout time.

Thanks for your question Jenny. Basically this sounds like infected acne. You should see your doctor because effective treatment is available. It definitely does not sound like cancer, but as I'm sure you understand, you'll need to have your doctor take a look before any attempts at diagnosis can be made.
