Yes. It is rare for children and teens to have any type of cancer, and even rarer to have nasopharyngeal cancer. But, it is possible. Read more about this extremely rare childhood cancer at the National Cancer Institute site:
NCI: Unusual Cancers of Childhood http://www.nci.nih.gov/cancertopics/pdq/treatment/unusual-cancers-childhood/HealthProfessional/page2/
Nasopharyngeal Carcinoma - arises in the lining of the nasal cavity and pharynx. Occurs in association with Epstein-Barr virus (EBV), the virus associated with infectious mononucleosis. The incidence of this tumor is approximately 1 in 100,000 persons younger than 20 years in the United States.

It is possible, but highly unlikely.
Depending on your symptoms, you probably have a deep pimple or a bacterial infection.
