Suggest Remedy For Lump Under Skin Near Elbow

My daughter has what feels like a knot under the skin near her elbow. It is about the size of a pea and you can only see it when she bends her elbow. She has not complained about any pain in that area or her arm in general. Is this something I should seek immediate care for?

1.The most possible cause could be ganglion - usually exist from the nerve, tendon and joint space.
2.They are painless, asymptomatic, does not need any acute treatment.
3.Usually seen in the sports persons involving active limb movement.
4.If you feel any growth in the lump - an ultrasound is investigation of choice to evaluate the nature of the lesion, its source and extensions.
