Swollen Groin

A few weeks ago, I developed a swollen gland in my groin on my right side. It hurt like $%^#, and after a while, it subsided and went away. During this time, I developed "spider bites" (at least that's what the THIRD doctor told me) that went away with medicine. Now, two small bumps are back and my OTHER gland in my groin is swollen. What is going on? Has anyone else experienced a swollen gland in the groin area? I am going to the doctor on Monday, but in the meantime, I am worrying.

Re: Swollen Groin

On WEBMD I typed in: swollen/tender glands and groin area. Then, I put lump or bulge and something came up about a bug bite.

Then, it gave me a list of conditions (of course it could be any of these or none of them but this is what it said):

cat scratch disease
inguinal hernia (female)
abscess
swollen glands
syphilis (female)
lyme disease
lymphogranuloma venereum
plague
lymphoma

Hmm - check it out - you can go to WEBMD.com and put your symptoms in - if you put them in yourself you might get more specific results b/c I put them in just based on what you wrote in your post.

Good luck at the Doctor - I just hope whatever it is it isn't too serious and you'll be just fine - please update us!!!! GL!
