Suggest Treatment For Swollen Lymph Nodes In The Groin

I am an 18 year old female and have had swollen lymph nodes in my groin before but am having them again. I had one on my right side first, that one has gone away, and now I have one on my left side. Could this be do to ingrown hairs from shaving? Or I recently had a bad run in with over 50 chigger bites on my legs.

No. It doesn't look like both of them. I may be lymph node swelling. you need to consult your physician for complete evaluation and treatment.

Dont take it like that. Ingrown hair always leaves an opening in tha skin that sometimes is open too and causes seepage of pus outside when infected.
