Detailed Answer:
Hi.
Thanks for your query.
Noted the history and understood your concerns.
Certainly yes, Jock's itch can cause sudden development of inguinal lymph nodes if there is infection in the affected skin. Such nodes are constant meaning do not reduce in size on pressure or do not increase on coughing, may be tender, skin may be reddened. Needs antibiotic and anti-inflammatory medications.
Hernia in both groin can be a possibility and the classical finding is impulse on coughing that is enlarges on coughing is reducible. Please check yourself and get confirmed by your Doctor/Surgeon.
Get an opinion of a Dermatologist for Jock's itch - use loose clothes, have cleaning with plain water at least 2 times in a day to wash of the retained sweat and skin products, avoid hot and humid air.
Umbilical hernia may need surgery as per the opinion of your Surgeon.
I hope this answers your query and helps further.
