Swelling In Lymph Nodes In Groin. Back Pain, Itching, Pus Filled Spots In The Area. Cause?

Hi

For the past two weeks I have noticed a large swelling in the lymph nodes in the groin, this has been accompanied by left sided lower back pain and itching in the pubic area. In the past few days the swelling has gotten larger and tonight I noticed a cluster of pus filled spots on the left posterior thigh. I am very curious and a bit concerned as to what this might be. thank you, Kieron
