Now I have a new worry unrealted (I think) to pregnancy!!! Help!!!

I have no idea what topic to post this under, so I'll just do this one. I am currently afraid of pregnancy (although I haven't had sex)...feel free to read my other posts. I was just changing into a different pair of pants and kinda bumped my left side with my hand. It hurt somewhat, so I felt around and I have a lump! It's kinda tiny, but not too small. I think maybe it's a swollen lymph node. It only hurts to touch it and is pretty much on my groin I guess you would say. I had a huge lymph node problem a while ago (went to the doctor saying everything was swollen and nothing was) so it is hard to trust myself now. But those never hurt and this one does. I do not have the same bump on the other side. 1. Is that a sign of pregnancy? I have just recently started back to school  after a week break for thanksgiving and had to carry by 55 pound bag up and down stairs again. I cannot think of any injury to my left leg though. The only thing I can think of is (sorry) had a pimpleish thing in between my vagina/butt a few days ago but it has now gone down a lot in size and does not hurt anymore. Could the swollen lymph node be from that? I'm already really stressed with everything in my life right now and now with the pregnancy stuff AND now this! I would have never noticed it if I hadn't accidentally touched it because you can't see anything and it doesn't hurt unless I touch it. Please help! I have no idea what it could be!

The purplish pimple is probably an ingrown hair.  
You may have a hernia.  Get it checked out!

It was no purple at all. It was a pimple, I squeezed it and is pretty much gone now. Wouldn't I be more aware that I had a hernia? It's a little bigger than a pea and i didn't even notice it before I pushed on it. I'm only 19...would I really have a hernia from doing no heavy lifting or anything of the matter? I just noticed it today and when i am not touching it it doesn't hurt at all and I can't see it.
