What Causes Tenderness In Armpit Along With Painful Swollen Lymph Nodes?

Over the past few days I ve felt tenderness in my right armpit which later developed into a painful swollen lymph node that I have been treating like an infection. I m now experience the same pain in my left armpit, bit it has not yet become very swollen, however I m also treating this like an infection. I now am feeling this tenderness/ slight pain in my LOWER inner thigh, and am becoming worried. It s not swollen, and I m not even certain if there are lymph nodes located that far down your inner thigh, or if it could be the result of an injury I m unaware of. Could I be at risk for cancer? I m worried. Female, 18
