Former chiro here who had a similar problem with an inguinal lymph node. You could have an infection or toxic buildup somewhere as the lymph system is attempting to clear it. The lymph system is an accessory circulatory system that detoxifies the body. You need to see an M.D.
immediately.
In my case and before I had any knowledge of health science/care, a week or two prior to my inguinal swelling I had spilled some ultra concentrated nitric acid on my anterior thigh (worked in a lab analyzing for environmental levels of radiation). the subsequent swellin in the inguinal lymph node was the result of the lymph system cleaning out the HNO3.
Please see and M.D. ASAP, please.
