General Surgeon 's  Response
Hello!

Thank you for the query.

If you have been shaving your armpit, an infection of hair follicle and abscess formation is the most probable reason. Some cyst presence (sebaceus cyst) is also possible.
It seems that the incision will help with this lump, so please consult a surgeon with this issue. In case pf any doubts, ultrasound can be done.
Lump in the groin can be a hernia, lipoma or a cyst. This should be checked by a surgeon as well.

Hope this will help.
Regards.
