Swollen lumps

I'm getting increasingly worried - since I was young, I had a tendency to have infected lumps underneath my armpits which would usually go with a course of antibiotics. However, they return consistently. Also I'm now getting lumps in my groin area which are painful, and something similar underneath my breasts (i'm female). I know I should go to the doctor to check them out, but does anyone have any idea what this could be?
Sounds like something to do with the lymph nodes. Definitely get it checked out, it could be very serious.

Definatly sounds like the lymph nodes, have you got any other infections or cuts that could be draining into the lymph nodes? If you do the lymph nodes usually disappear when the problem disappears, but if you're worried then go see the doctor.
