What Causes A Itchy Knot On The Arm?

Hi! So I ve had this lump/knot in my arm for about a year. It itches sometimes and feels like it might be getting bigger. I ve had an X-ray, but they didn t see anything- which I didn t suppose they would had. I just want to know what it may be. I ve been diagnosed with Mixed Connective Tissue Disorder, so I guess that MAY be the cause...but I have no idea.
