Hi,
Given the history of the cuts in the leg it is absolutely normal to have inflamed tender nodes in the same groin as the infection control process leads to nodal inflammation.
Do not worry, take antibiotics for the wound and take proper wound care by keeping it clean and applying an antibiotic dressing if it is a bigger wound.
It should get relieved in 6 to 7 days.
Take care,
