Hi, thanks for sharing your child s health concerns with HCM and also for your clinical judgement! Well, in present situation, if I were your consulting doctor, I must have agreed to your opinion as he has history of skin infections...! Lymph nodes are common in people with any kind of chronic infection; but the cause could be something else in rare instances like tuberculosis, lymphoma or viral exanthems.... And, these could be kind of inguinal hernia too! Therefore he should undergo an FNAC/biopsy of the nodules for confirmation and to relieve your concerns..! Hope this answers your question. If you have additional questions or follow up questions then please do not hesitate in writing to us. I will be happy to answer your questions. Wishing your child good health.
