Groin lymphs: Although a hernia and lymph nodes can cause bumps in the groin area - don't usually expect them to extrude pus. You may have an infected cyst or other skin infection. Would use warm compresses to help bring this to a head. If you develop swelling, redness, warmth, red streaking, fever, increased tenderness- all of these could be significant for an infection. An infection may require treatment.
