Is there anything that can be done to improve the keloid scar on my chin? (photos)

Asked By:Genuine7269

About 8 years ago I got a small mole removed on my chin (it was taken off with a blade). I now have what I believe to be a keloid scar that protrudes from the skin. I realize a scar can not completely be removed but is there any thing that can be done to flatten the scar so it doesn't protrude from the skin anymore ?
