Hi,
It may be hypertrophic scar. Kindly consult the dermatologist for the perfect diagnosis and proper treatment.
After thorough examination and investigations,he might give proper treatment.
Intradermal steroid injection may improve the condition. Analgesic drug would relieve the pain. Apply hyaluronic acid containing gel on the scar.
I hope this would help you.
Thanks.
