Brief Answer:
No Cancer
Detailed Answer:
Hi,
I understand your concerns.
This doesn't look like cancer.
Old women have low immunity and hence are more susceptible to infections. They have slow healing process which takes time to heal.
I suggest request your doctor to prescribe broad spectrum antibiotics which will help in reducing infection soon and reduce fever along with that.
Let me know if you need anymore help.
Regards
