hey guys ive been doing ok with all this HA situation for the past time, but it came in full force...i have this pimple in my bum area, (this might be TMI) at first it was really big and had ALOT of puss in it, i remember squeezing like three or four times and all of the times there was alot of puss in it...after all that, all that is really left is a really hard pink lump...not as big as it was before but it's still there, this whole thing has lasted for a month or so, i googled to see ways of getting rid of it but of course, thousands of skin cancer articles popped up...please does this sound like skin cancer???

That’s a boil. Google boil. Not cancerous. Just a boil.

Can those last for a long time?

Yes they can.
Flat out, if it had puss and redness, it is not cancer. If it shows typical signs of infection, ot course get it checked.. but by a doctor, not a derm. ;-)

Yup. Sounds like a boil.
