Is It Normal To Have Painful Scar Post Injury?

I have a scar from 20 years ago when I fell off the monkey bars. At the time I had bitten through my bottom lip which required stitches along with stitches on my chin. Now 20 years later, in just the past 4 months my scar has started growing. First they looked swollen, now they are just getting worse. It hurts if it gets bumped even slightly and with 2 little ones that seems to be all the time. Could this be cancerous?
