I have a what my dermatologist calls a keloid scar on my neck, this was caused by an accidental, self-inflicted chemical burn. My scar has not grown beyond the border of the original scar, although it is raised. I have had 5 treatments of cortisone injections, and currently am treating redness with Tri-Luma cream. This has soften it a bit but it still remains raised and very reddish and sore looking. What can I do to improve its appearance? I am of Hispanic descent and have a medium complexion.

Kenolog and Fraxel
If kenolog injection did not help, the next treatment is Fraxel. This will help with the redness.
I would give kenolog enough time to work first. It is a very powerful drug when injected in the correct place.
Best,
