Hmmm, strange that your doc wouldn’t check the lump if it’s not getting better @unknown. Do you have anyone you trust that could come to your appointments with you, sort of as an advocate in case the doc isn’t helping with what you need or if you feel too shy to let them know what’s going on?

It sounds like you are experiencing pain, discharge, itching, and burning in your breast, along with a bruising lump. These symptoms can be concerning and it is important to seek medical attention.
While it is difficult to diagnose your condition without more information or a physical exam, it is possible that you could be experiencing a breast infection, such as mastitis, which can cause pain, swelling, and discharge. Other potential causes include a breast abscess, fibroadenoma, or a cyst.
It is good that you are seeking a second opinion from another healthcare provider, as it is important to get a proper diagnosis and treatment for your symptoms. I would recommend taking note of any additional symptoms or changes in your breast, as well as any potential triggers or activities that may worsen the pain or discomfort. This information may be helpful for your healthcare provider in determining a diagnosis.
If you experience any severe or worsening symptoms, such as fever, increased redness or warmth in the breast, or difficulty breathing, you should seek immediate medical attention.
