Brief Answer:
Hypertrophied scar vs keloid....

Detailed Answer:
Hi,

I was able to view the picture. You seem to have developed a hypertrophied scar. However without a close physical examination, possibility of keloid cannot be ruled out.

I will recommend you consult a surgeon nearby. He/she can be able to confirm the diagnosis. Once confirmed you may be treated with steroid injections (intralesional) for few weeks.

Hope this answers your question. Let me know if you need clarifications.

Regards
