Normal findings: It sounds more likely that you're just discovering what was there all along. There are often small lymph nodes found in the groin region - mostly because of the bowel activity that serves as a low-grade stimulus to the immune system. Stool or 'poop' is full of bacteria, as you can imagine, so this gives a 'work out' to the system causing what you've observed. Ring worm has nothing to do with it.

Ring Worm: Ringworm is a common fungal skin infection otherwise known as tinea. Ringworm most commonly affects the skin on the body (tinea corporis), the scalp (tinea capitis), the feet (tinea pedis, or athlete's foot), or the groin (tinea cruris, or jock itch). http://www.webmd.com/skin-problems-and-treatments/ss/slideshow-ringworm
