Other symptoms?: A rash in that area can cause a swollen lymph node. Do you have any new bruising, fatigue, large lymph nodes anywhere else, fevers, night sweats or unintentional weight loss?

Otherwise, lymph nodes can take 1-2 months to go away.

Accepted Answer

Inguinal nodes: Prominent inguinal lymph nodes are not unusual and may be remnants of prior inflammatory processes. However these old burnt out nodes should not be large, increasing in size or new lymph node enlargement occurring. An examination of your neck and armpits should be done to look for other lymphadenopathy and a complete blood count and mononucleosis test would be done also. Discuss this with your MD.
