Question : I’m a 32 year old male suffering from psoriasis for about four years now and within 7 months I noticed my left groin lymph node became enlarged. Besides that I have no other symptoms, it is roughly the size of a quarter and is moveable, no other lymph nodes in my body are affected at least that are visible. I am wondering if this is caused by a leg infection or just inflammation from the psoriasis which is also on my leg.

Brief Answer:
Lymph node enlargement associated with leg infection

Detailed Answer:
Hi
Welcome to ask a doctor service
I have gone through your query.
Enlarged lymph nodes seem to be associated with an ongoing infection in the leg.
Psoriasis doesn’t lead to lymph node enlargement.
