Hello,
I read carefully your query and understand your concern.
There are many medical treatments to lower the appearance of the scars.
Treatments include :
-surgery to remove the scar,
-steroid injections, or
-silicone sheets to flatten the scar.
You can also prevent keloid formation by using pressure treatment or gel pads with silicone when you are injured.
Hope my answer was helpful.
If you have further queries feel free to contact me again.
Kind regards!
