At least from the photo, the primary scar issue is hypopigmentation.

From the photo, the lump appears to be a developing hypertrophic scar. If so, intralesional injection of the anti-inflammatory agent, triamcinolone in an appropriate concentration and amount can be used to flatten and shrink the scar. I am no fan of the relatively expensive, faddish, "bells and...
