Hi welcome to Healthcaremagic,
Sorry to say that your question is not that clear. I think that you are suffering from an infected ulcer in the foot following an insect bite. It is now associated with an enlarged lymph node in the inguinal region (pelvic region). It is usual to have inguinal lymph nodes enlargement with leg ulcers.
But the prime concern is that the ulcer is not healing. I would suggest you to attend a nearby clinic and get your Blood routine, Serum albumin, Total Protein checked. Get a Fasting Blood Sugar repeated if not done in last 3 months, though you have said that you are not diabetic.
The wound needs to be explored for any foreign body and you may need a course of antibiotics.
Do contact via Healthcaremagic on case of any doubts.
Thank you.
