Hi
Thanks for posting your query
Well shingles can causes swollen lymph nodes near the region it affects, in your case the groin.
Also shingles can caise minor nerve damage at and around the site of lesions resulting in increased sensitivity or burning or pricking sensation. But this will go off by itself is 1-2 weeks.
But if the sensation is bothering you too much then you can use certain medication like Pregabalin which decreases the intensity of that sensation. Ask your doctor for the prescription.
Hope this information was useful to you.
Any clarification feel free to ask.
Regards.
