What Causes Bruised Feeling Near Right Groin?
A couple of days ago I noticed a severely bruised feeling area near my right groin area (from looking at diagrams possibly the inguinal node ages). No bruising exists but the area is very tender to the touch and an ache has begun to radiate down the leg to the knee area. Also during this time, I have been feeling slightly ill, running a low grade fever of around 100 and experiencing chills and night sweats. I live in a rural area and am wondering if this is something I should seek medical attention for or just give it a few days to pass. Thanks.

But it is better you visit a doctor and get examined yourself for proper diagnosis and treatment.
