Have a scar & its shiny. Don't know what type of scar this is but is there any treatment that can take the shine away? (Photo)

Fell over when I was 3 years old I had stitches but as a kid pulled them off as it was itchy and uncomfortable this led to my scar being shiny all my life. I don't mind if theres a scar there as long as the shiny ness is gone? Any advice?
