These scars are hyperpigmented and will respond well to Melarase creams twice daily + RR Complex as an exfoliant. Raffy Karamanoukian, Los Angeles

The treatment of unsightly scars can involve the use of medications, surgery, and/or lasers or other technology-based equipment.  In your case, the scars appear to be flat and red/purple in color.  Such scars usually respond well to vascular laser treatment.  Usually a few treatments produces significant improvement.  Of course, you would need to discontinue the use of tape. Without examining a patient I am not able to make a more specific treatment recommendation.
