Pain under arm pit and breast discharge

Hi 

wondering if anyone can help as I'm unsure either to go to the doctors or not , I have been getting a clear discharge from my left nipple on and off for about a year recently I have now got a lot of pain in the left armpit also and now the discharge is a sort of puss colour which is comming from both nipples (but still more so the left than the right)  and it has a really bad odour , a couple of years ago my left breast had doubled in size and had went rock hard and also had alot pain in it . when I went to the doctor about it they didn't do any sort of check and just sent me away told me whatever it was would be going away if it didn't feel as bad as before  which I think it's putting me off going again the pain in my breast is also back now and I'm just unsure what to do with the pandemic I don't want to waste any of the nhs time but I am getting worried now 

thank you
