I am almost 6 yrs out and this happens to me and my lumpectomy scar too. I don't even know what I do but I do know weather changes affect it - it kind of was bothering me this week but it has been incredibly hot and humid. Cold really is bad - the first cold days of autumn/winter. Naturally, when it bothers me I give myself a breast exam but nothing is there. And it does go away in a couple of days or a week or so.
