Orthopedic specialis: These bumps may be due to Osgood-Schlatter disease which affects young people. An orthopedic specialist is best qualified to evaluate these bumps which may be related to repeated inflammation.

Varies: There are several possibilities, a physical exam would likely yield the diagnosis. Imaging studies could also help. The tibial tubercle is a structure in that area and it can become enlarged producing a "lump" in the area I believe you are describing for a variety of reasons, I would not hesitate to be seen.
