Best Treatment for Old White Hot Water Burn Scar?

cocochanel88
So I was accidentally scalded by hot water when I was about 6 months old. I'm 18 years old now and I still have scarring on my chest/upper arm and jawline. They make me extremely self conscious and I want to know if there is any kind of procedure out there that would reduce the appearance of my scars. The scars are basically white and lighter than the skin around it.
