A member asked:

Chronic pilonidal cyst/abcess, fills and drains constantly. could this cause a persistant swollen lymph node in groin on one side?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Terminology: If it is in the groin, it is not pilonidal cyst. Pilonidal cyst occurs in the butt crack. If there is a chronically draining lesion in the groin it could be from a lymphnode. In any case you need to see a doctor for evaluation and treatment.
