Dermatologist,  's  Response
Hi.
As per your case history of painful lymph node my treatment advice is -
1. We need to find the cause first - it may be due to localized infection on pubic or genital region or it may be due to generalized infection.
2. Take an NSAID like ibuprofen twice daily for 5 days and oral antibiotic like doxycyline 100mg twice daily for 5 days.
3. If problem persists beyond 5 days then consult dermatologist for further treatment.

Thanks.
