Hello! I can totally understand how it feels to find something not normal when you're pregnant, especially knowing that now your baby is dependent on you too. Please donor worry and take care of your health and diet. Both the mole and the lymph node in the groin can very well be explained simply. The mole may have shown some minor change in size or color (which may rarely happen during pregnancy); hence your dermatologist wants to get it removed and examined, but if he is not insisting on it to get it done immediately, I'm sure it is not something very serious and urgent. As regards the groin lymph node, any minor trauma to lower limb including a small bump or a scratch or a small boil may make it large enough to be felt. If your doctor has found no other specific focus of infection on examination, we can safely wait and watch; most likely it will regress on its own in a couple of weeks. Wishing you a happy and worry-free pregnancy. Chat Doctor.
