What should I do? (photos)

kerineMay 1, 2015
Did my double eyelid on 20/04/15. I went back to remove the stitch 4 day after the surgery. The wound open, the doctor advisor me not to lid up let it heal. Been 1 week after the stitch remove, the wound had heal. I lid up my eyelid, it seen to be like hypertrophic or possible keloid to me. I email the doctor who did the surgery,he advisor me to keep rubbing over the wound & the scar will get better. My eyelid becomes natural or I might need steroid injection after a few months if it's still.
