Can a mastisis scar breast tissue and can it cause recurrent 'chest pain' years after a having a child?

Possible but evaluat: While it is possible for mastitis to cause permanent scarring, in most instances this resolves without any consequences. Your reports of ongoing pain are concerning and warrant evaluation by a specialist with possible diagnostic imaging.
