Keloids and hypertrophic scars (raised scars) are difficult to treat, especially on areas such as the chest and back. I treat many such scars in the office, and usually start with injections of steroid into the scar at regular intervals, along with topical therapy. Over the counter creams, such as Mederma, may help the scar become a bit flatter, but the effects are relatively mild and generally slow to appear. It turns out that occlusion, or covering the scar, is helpful. Silicone sheeting has been used with some success to reduce the thickness of keloid and hypertrophic scars. There was even a recent study that showed that covering raised scars with surgical tape reduced the thickness of the scar over time. In the end, I would advise you to have a dermatologist evaluate and treat the scar. That would give you the best chance of quickly resolving the condition.
