What Causes Swollen Nodes On Groin Region?
I have a swollen groin gland for 3 weeks now, and a red patch under the head on my penis that doesn t itch. I have also had a canker sore in my mouth for the 1st 2 weeks, and after the 2 weeks, another canker sore came up in my mouth. I am mainly concerned about the swollen node on the right side of my groin.

Hi
Swollen nodes in the groin region can occur due to various reasons.
Such lymph node swellings can occur due to any infection in the groin region or they can be reactive which is secondary to any skin conditions in the groin region .
Since you have some lesion over the groin region ,it is necessary that you get the lesion checked by a dermatologist.
It is necessary to find the exact cause for the swelling and then further treat .
