I had something similar and didn't want the rust to spread. I used a fiberglass pen to clean out the rust in the pit of the paint. They on eBay and about $10. Then prime and paint.

The fiberglass pen works much better than sandpaper as you can use it more precisely.

As long as it's surface rust the pen idea will work. If the rust has eaten through the panel you will need to cut out the cancer and weld in some new metal.
