I thought the boxing liniment was mostly camphor and menthol...
I'd highly, HIGHLY doubt that it would be cancerous, considering that it arose out of repetitive trauma to the shin due to training...it's probably the same type of thing as when you get hit in the head and a bump swells up and sticks around for awhile...because it's on your shin, and you kick with your shin, chances are you might aggravte it more than you realize...also the shin takes awhile to heal...it's painful because the shin doesn't have much muscle around it, especially if you're not used to kicking with it...it's just bone and nerves. Ice should reduce the swelling, so would sports cream, help ease the pain...yada yada, common sense.
