A member asked:
Is it normal to feel inguinal lns. they're about the size of a pea and smaller. saw pcp, said was due to folliculitis. nodes still present follic gone?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Adenopathy: Enlarged inguinal lymph nodes are very common since they are in a very "dirty" area of the body and they clean things up for a living. Although if the folliculitis was actually the reason for their presence, they may stay large for a lengthy time period, and sometimes may never go away. If they are not enlarging and you have no other symptoms would not worry. Good luck.
