I've had a burn scar on my left chest since I was 3 when boiling water spilled on me. Now that I'm 18, it gets really irritated and tender by the end of the day when my clothes rub against it. Sometimes there's this dull, stabbing pain too. I've been using aloe vera gel, which helps cool it down, but once it dries, the irritation comes back. There's no inflammation or infection, though. Do you think I should see a doctor about this?
