I was wondering what this is, can it be skin cancer?

Okay, as a general rule, if you suspect cancer you seek medical advice. You don't think about it and see if it gets better by itself, you go to a doctor. These days, cancer's something that really isn't that big of a deal if it's caught in the very early stages, however, leave it too late and you're screwed.Looking at the pictures and description, I'd bet lots of money that it's not cancer. Cancer's roughly defined as an uncontrolled growth of cells. If there's no growth per se, and it 'starts to disappear after a long time', it's not cancer.Regardless, I'm not a doctor, so I'm hardly qualified to give advice, but my best guess would be that it was something along the lines of dry skin, or some skin irritation. Nothing major at all.
