Hello and thanks for posting,

Sensations and colour changes in sensitive scar areas can be related to changes to your external temperature and increased UV light, so more likely to happen in summer, or when away on holiday. Try and keep it covered with clothing that doesn't let light through, if that's feasible, or apply SPF 50 sunblock to the area. It should settle.

If any previous skin area does change (usually over a 4 to 6 week period), in its size (bigger) or shape (irregular), colour of it becomes darker, or becomes oozy, bleeds, or is crusty, then seek medical advice. 

You could always take a phone photo of it for now to have as a current reference. 

I hope that this helps,
