Hello
welcome to health care magic
Thanks for your query..
Swollen lymph nodes in the groin means that there is an infection in the legs,groin or foot area..you didn't mention in the query about any thing abnormal in the legs or groin,,
Or you have any injury in the past?
If you have any sexual exposure with the sex workers i the past,,,some sexually transmitted diseases like genital herpes,syphilis, gonorrhea...
Cancer of the lower limb organs including groin area also causes swollen lymph nodes.but they won't suppurate(formation of pus).
Consult general surgeon and have your diagnosis and its treatment..
The treatment consists of mainly antibiotics..
Hope you understand my suggestion
Thank you
