I got this scar as a child From a U nail. I didn’t get stitches and really didn’t take care of it. It is located on my trunk. Is this a keloids or did it heal this way be I didn’t properly care for the wound? Is there anything I can do for it now. The scar is really raised.

Answer: Scar treatment Thank you for your question and photograph. It's difficult to evaluate your skin through this type of forum. The scar might be a keloid or it can be an atrophic scar, but an in-person evaluation needs to be done to help determine what type of scar you have. Then appropriate treatment options can be discussed such as injections or microneedling, etc. I highly recommend you consult with a board certified dermatologist to have your scar evaluated and to discuss appropriate treatment options. Take care and good luck.
