Hi,
The swelling of groin node often does not indicate disease. It may be because of walking in bare foot also. But if the swelling persists, you need to see the doctor and do some tests like complete hemogram and others (like tuberculosis testing) to find out the cause.
Take care. Hope I have answered your question. Let me know if I can assist you further.
