Scar on chesy from basal cell excision still sore 3 months later?

Massage it: It isnot unusual for scars to stay sensitive for several months especially on the chest. Try using , moisturizer and spending 10-15mins 2-3 times a day massaging in the lotion. This can sometimes help to desensitize a scar. If it continues to stay sore after that ask your doctor to take a look at it.
