The title might be a little vague, but I’ve got a pretty serious question for you all because something has been weighing on my mind for a while now.
Basically, about a week or two ago, I noticed some swelling in the lymph nodes in my right groin. At first, I didn't think much of it, but now I'm starting to get a bit anxious. On the left side, I can only feel one small node, but on the right, I can palpate several of them.
On top of that, I've been sweating quite a bit at night, waking up multiple times during sleep.
It all started—and please, try not to laugh—when I noticed what looked like a pimple on the skin of my right testicle. It was a literal pimple, complete with that little white head. Being the genius that I am, I tried to squeeze it, but I couldn't really get anywhere with it.
I kept trying for the next few days. At one point, I actually felt like the contents were draining, yet there wasn't any visible pore on the surface where it could have come out.
Is it possible that it migrated into the scrotum and caused some kind of infection?
There are just too many coincidences here. This thing popped up on my right testicle, and after I spent time messing around with it, the lymph nodes in my right groin started swelling up.
I should also mention that my oil glands have been acting up lately, so I've been dealing with a sudden breakout of subcutaneous pimples on my face.

I know this sounds a bit bizarre, but if anyone could help ease the uncertainty before I head to see a doctor, I would truly appreciate it.

To give you some context, about a week or two ago, I discovered that the lymph nodes in my right groin area had become swollen. Initially, I didn't think much of it, but now I am starting to feel quite anxious because while I can only feel one small node on the left side, I can palpate several distinct ones on the right.
Additionally, I have been experiencing significant night sweats, which cause me to wake up multiple times during the night.
It all began—and please, try not to laugh—when I noticed what appeared to be a small pimple on the skin of my right testicle. Being a rather bright young man, I thought it would be wise to try and squeeze it, though I wasn't particularly successful.
I continued attempting this over the following few days. At one point, I even felt as though the contents of the pimple were being released, yet there was no visible pore on the surface where it could have possibly exited.
Is it plausible that the infection migrated into the interior of the scrotum, leading to some sort of internal complication?
The coincidences seem far too striking to ignore. This issue manifested on my right testicle, and shortly after I spent some time tinkering with it, the swelling in my right groin followed suit.
I should also mention that my sebaceous glands have been quite active lately, so I find myself quickly breaking out in subcutaneous pimples across my face.

I realize this whole situation sounds somewhat bizarre, but if anyone could help alleviate this uncertainty before I head to see my doctor, I would be immensely grateful.

In short, you should definitely make an appointment to have a doctor examine this properly.
Essentially, there is a real possibility that the minor wound—regardless of how invisible it may have seemed on the surface—became infected, allowing bacteria to trigger an immune response, which would explain why your lymph nodes are swollen.
