Q: recently had ingrown hair to inguinal area, went away but now an inguinal lymph node is swollen. not painful or red. < 1cm diameter. is this normal?

"Normal" is wrong qu: Non-specific enlargement of a lymph node near any inflammation is common. Absence of pain or redness is reassuring, but continued growth is reason for consulting a Dr.
