The answer

It is not permissible for your maternal aunt to uncover your major or minor 'awrah for treatment, except out of a dire necessity according to . Your situation is not considered a dire necessity for that. Seeking treatment from a non-Muslim male doctor is more appropriate than uncovering oneself before a Muslim female doctor. Your maternal aunt or any of your family members can inquire about a trustworthy doctor.
