How can I treat this hypertrophic scar from upper bleph? (Photo)

emmydonay
Im 8 months PO and ive developed a hypertrophic scar on this eye directly after surgery because of to much tension, I want to do an injection with 5FU. Is it possible to get any improvement with only 5FU to the scar? I’m scared of atrophy with cortisone injections. The person who can help me with 5FU injections didn’t tell me any after care or if I should massage the scar after? Can you please help me explain how to do after so I can have a nice eye again. Thank you very much
