What can be done to fix ugly scarring on the back of my shoulder? (photos)

Enthusiastica
Hello Doctors. Unfortunately I have got this long and prominent scar from getting up from the floor and then beating my back shoulder against a sticking metal used to put padlocks. It bled a lot. Now I have this scar that really bothers me, everytime I look back on the mirror I see it on my upper back. I have tried bio oil, sunflower oil but it’s not helping it. Which would be my best option to get rid of this scar? Lazer or surgery? Would it be expensive? Would the results be satisfactory? Tyvm
