Hello All,

 

   I noticed my left lymph node, located on the inside of my hip. I found out that it was a goin lymph node. Anyway's I just came back from the beach about 24 hours ago. I noticed last nite that a node was swollen and sore. Not too swollen, it is still low enough under my skin, feels like a grape. I was wondering what is going on? I never had that problem before. I'm in my upper 30's and I'm pretty healthy.  I do have a tiny ingrown hair on my inner thigh, that flaired up a couple of times though, I wonder if that has anything to do with this lymph node? that ingrown hair feels like a cyst, but I'm not sure which it is, all I know is that it flaired up twice, mostly when I'm hot and when I sweat, so I know that has got to be related to the heat and me shaving.  I had that for about 6 months, I do not know what to do with that either, for I have researched topics on it and found that there is really nothing you can do with it medically, but to soak in warm salt water. That does help, but now I have this lymph node issue. Can someone please help me answer this and if I should just go ahead and see a doctor, I suppose I will. I just do not think they will do anything for me. =(
