Cassie: please google hydradenitus suppurativa there are thousands of sites, and a society of for people that have the condition and others that are interested and care. You are better off asking the question there. The condition is fairly rare. (Merck manual does not discuss it), (even though about 2.5% of the U. S. public may have the condition.). Although it is very rarely fatal, it does kill. My uncle died of it. (in no large part because he smoked and was not too careful about taking care of himself. )Some of the sites have lists of professionals, in various neighborhoods that are knowlegible on the subject and may treat you for minimal charge.
Good luck.
Doc. Dan.

There is no one particular symptom for cancer, especially if it is on the face. Most people recognise cancers as abnormal growths that are constantly getting larger or chaning shape.
Skin cancers are mainly due to sun exposure, but in your case I would be examining and watching each spot you are worried about.

They can be easily tested by a biopsy, and a blood test. I know doctors can be expensive, but when a disease such as cancer may be on the cards, your health is worth every penny! Find our if there is even a medical helpline where you could speak to a doctor and describe all your symptoms too. It is too hard to give a diagnosis over the net!

True... but be thankful you live in THESE days, and your friend might be thankful his Dad didn't come down with cancer until almost 60. My Mom started with breast cancer when she was 30 (back in 1969) and the only option then was a RADICAL mastectomey followed by heavy radiation and chemo... three years later it was ovarian cancer and a hystorectomy... three years after that it was the other breast and another mastectomy... and then 3 years later was lung cancer... that eventually killed her at age 52. I had skin-cancers detected when I was 28 (oops, too many Summers spent at the pool in the days before sun-block)... I had 48 individual cancers removed from my back and shoulders, and THANK GOD I've seen nothing since thanks to regular monitoring.

Check out the link I have posted below on the 7 warning signs of cancer. I doubt you do have it though. There are county health clinics you can go to for low cost or free care. You may also be able to work out a payment plan with a specialist if need be. Do research on your condition so that you are more knowledgeable on the subject.

My dad use to have maybe the same, acne with cysts like a bunch of it under his armpit. We use warm water with towel to make it ripe and then squeeze it so to get rid of the cysts. It may take few days to more than a week and some occasion few week to go off.
This also happen to me but not on the armpit but below my navel and sometimes worst near the soft area of my pubic. I myself is worrying weather it is cancer. But thank God its not. But you must not be so denying not to see a doctor.
Since then I adopted the believe of prevention and thus choose to detox myself regularly. And only recently I found the safest, easiest and most effective Chalater and Detoxifier, Liquid Zeolite of Natural Cellular Defense or NCD. It also help to clear my Psoriasis and Gout like symptom and really help my kids with their Eczema within use of only a few days, yes only a few day but the result is significant. To know more of this Liquid Zeolite you can email me at bertolisw@yahoo.com bcause i don't want to be misunderstood of spam&advert.
Anyway just go and see a doctor.

There usually are no symptoms. The only way to know for sure is to go get it biopsied.
