Brief Answer:
hypertrophic scar most likely
Detailed Answer:
Hello dear,
Welcome again.
It is most likely hypertrophic scar as per details.
The best treatment modality for it is intralesional injection of steroid by an expert dermatologist.
Topical medications like hexilak silicone gel might soften it but wont help much alone.
I will advice you to discuss this with your dermatologist. I am sure he will agree with my opinion.
Stay healthy.
