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?
Hi, Dear,Good afternoon. Thanks for the query to my Chat Doctor online-clinic. I studied your query in-depth. I can understand your concerns.-In my opinion the shin lump is mostly a-Urticaria and NOT A CANCER-for SURE.-Advise-I would advise you to-consult an ER Physician who would fix this lump with proper medications, and you would be alright in 1 was time.-I want to reassure your daughter that she would be relieved of the shin lump with itching all over body soon.-Hope this would resolve your worry-some query. Wellcome again to Chat Doctor. Have a good day.
