Hi,
Thanks for writing to us.
It would be difficult to comment about the diagnosis without seeing the lesion but probably these lesions are keloids. Usually in keloids we prescribe silicone gels like contractubex/opexa/vaniza etc along with intralesional steroid injections. Please meet a dermatalogist to get the diagnosis confirmed and start treatment.
Hope this helped.
Take care
