What Causes Swollen Lymph Node Around The Hip?
I have a small swollen bump underneath the skin what I think is my inhumanly lymph nodes on the right hip. I got a mosquito bite on the lower part of my right side gluteus, along with a bee sting on my right calf this week as well. Can the combo of the bite and sting cause that lymph node to swell?

Hello,
I would like to give some tests to get an idea of what the swollen bump is.
The tests are:
1. USG of the bump.
2. Complete Blood Tests
If these come normal, then, Biopsy of Lymph Node is advised.
I would also like to give medicine:
1. Clindamycin.
Although I think, we must be sure whether this bump is a lymph node or another thing. The above tests should reveal.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
Regards,
Dr. Dipan Samanta, General & Family Physician
