What you might be assuming looks like a boil, might actually be a prec-cancer or cancer.  So whenever you have a growth or skin abnormality that persists and looks infected OR if you have a mole that begins to change, bleed - you do want to get it checked out fast.  Check out more info on this site - especially the ABCDE of skin growths so you know the signs of a possible skin cancer.
