Question 3

Accepted Answer

Reevaluation: You should be on antibiotics. If you are and you are getting worse so that the infection has spread to your penis, then you need to be evaluated. Inflammation of the skin is termed cellulitis, and should be controlled as soon as possible. Go back to the er first since they will be able to document any changes and contact an appropriate specialist.

Question 4

lymph nodes on right groin removed both benign. recent skin infection right groin now swollen lymph node left groin. related even though diff sides?

Accepted Answer

If you do not have: cellulitis (skin infection) on left side, and your left groin nodes are inflamed, then you need to look to make sure you are not starting to get cellulitis or some other infection on that side.  The clearance of lymph on each leg is distinct from one another, so they should not be related.  If you continue to have enlarged lymph nodes, you need to see a surgeon for more biopsies.

Question 5

why wont my swollen groin lymph node go down?
i have had a swollen lymph node in my groin now for a few months. i do not appear to have an infection!

Accepted Answer

Scarring: The node may be scarred and may take longer than a few months to shrink in size. 
You may feel the node every couple of weeks, if the lymph gland doubles in size, becomes painful, ulcerates, or other nodes become enlarged, or you develop fever, you should see a doctor.

Question 6

i have a swollen groin lymph node, please help!?

Accepted Answer

Monitoring Centers: Lymphatic system absorbs/carries things too big to go into the arteries/veins like bacteria eaten by white cells and digested food. Lymph nodes "taste" the lymph for anything bad  like bacteria/viruses/cancers, etc. When it detects a problem, it alerts the immune system and your body reacts.  They enlarge in response to the inflammation they create when they react.  They shrink when all is well.

Question 7

swollen groin lymph node for around 6 weeks?around 1cm hard and fixed. 23 year old female. dr originally thought shaving but this has been stopped ?

Accepted Answer

Reevaluate: Any leg or foot infection? Moles,?
Any pelvic issues?
Lymphadenopathy can reflect inflammation, local skin infection, or tumors, or lymphatic disease.
May need biopsy if persistent or more!

Question 8

why do i have a lump below  the middle part of bicep & swollen groin lymph node? appeared 4 & 3 weeks ago, no growth after 48hrs, red, &initially painful

Accepted Answer

Bicep and groin?: I don't know of any relationship between a bicep "lump" and a groin lymph node. This isn't a problem that can be assessed over the internet. See a physician.

Question 9

why do i have a swollen lymph node in my groin ?

Accepted Answer

Possibilities: The lymph glands work to sift through body serum that arrives in its network to remove debris &amp; germs. They become active when the area they sift (the leg or nearby genital skin) has a skin irritation/infection.They can sometimes enlarge after a viral illness or vaccination. An exam and review of your history would be needed to sort this out.

Question 10

can shaving groin area cause a painless, small swollen lymph node?

Accepted Answer

Not uncommon: If shaving in this area exposes hair follicle to secondary infection, then the consequence is a groin lesion or node  .  Should such a  groin lesion however be noted and is not a phenomenon of inflammation in groin then one would need to bx the groin node for possible malignancy
