Hi,
It seems that due to chicken pox, formation of blisters might be there and might give rise secondary bacterial infection producing enlarged palpable lymph nodes in various regions.
She might require one course of antibiotic medicine course.
consult pediatrician and get examined.
Nothing to worry about cancer.
Ok and take care.
