Lumps in armpit and near private area. I really need help.

I had a lump on my left armpit then it went away, after a few days, i had another one on my right armpit, it gets smaller day after day and then i had another one near my private are. I'm only 16 and I'm really scared because I'm not sure what this could be.

Is this serious ? Do i need to go to doctor? Or can i just let it go?

If they are under your skin and not discolored I would tend to think its a blocked duct. It can happen when the weather is hot and where you tend to sweat. If you can keep the area clean and apply very little to no deodorant so that it will clear up. If they don't go away on their own you may need antibiotics to get rid of them.
