What Causes Lump On Shin And Itching Throughout Body?

Hi, My 16 yo daughter has been complaining of overall itching for several days, and has today found an almond sized painless lump on her shin, about 3 inches below her knee. She is terrified she has cancer, despite my reassurances. I told her we would take her to our GP if it hasn t reduced in a week s time. Do you have any other suggestions on how I can reassure her?
