HI, I have swollen lymph nodes coming out as lumps, in my armpits and groin. It started when I was 12. It was painless at first, but gradually, the swelling occurred frequently, but subsided on it's own over a period of few days, sometimes few weeks. Now, they are coming out of my skin, and usually are filled with some kind of liquid along with the hard lymph node - it's visible, I can see it. Its not usually that red, and I just got used it - it happened frequently. It stopped for a while. Today, there was a very tiny portion coming out of my skin in the groin - the joint where the thigh starts - red, extremely painful, and its excruciating to move my leg or walk. I've consulted many doctors before, and they haven't made any satisfying suggestions to solve this problem, nor have they prescribed any medicine for this condition. Please do tell how to stop this swelling and pain (and the red flesh coming out like hernia?)
