Should I Be Concerned About Sore And Swollen Lymph Nodes In The Groin Area?

My lymph nodes in my groin became sore then I developed a rash on my labia. I went to see my gynocologist the next day and she did a swan of the rash as well as STI tests. All of the tests came back negative. I am, however, waiting for the results of my Pap test. I realized my rash could be poison oak which I get very easily. I went to an area in Carmel, CA last weekend where it is known to be, but I had shorts and pants on. I am always very careful not to touch greenery since I get it easily. However, after seeing my gynecologist Thursday, I remembered I was around the poison oak and actually rested my pelvic area on the heel of my shoe while sitting by the ocean. I did tell her and show her where my lymph nodes were sore in my groin. She said they weren’t that swollen compared to my left groin. Should I be concerned about them still being sore and swollen? I’m still not positive the rash is poison oak, but it’s the only explanation since all my results were negative.

Hello and Welcome to ‘Ask A Doctor’ service. I have reviewed your query and here is my advice.

This is suggestive of an infection in the local area. Needs proper investigations like FNAC to find the cause.

I hope this information has been helpful for you.
