Keloid scar on lip from TCA (Photo)

I was treated with 100% TCA on a flat wart on the border of my lip. A very small amount was applied with a toothpick right on the wart. It crusted then the crust fell off and revealed a hypopigmentated spot which later became hard like a cheloid (but not too hard). I know cheloids are treated with steroid injections but since that can worsen the hypopigmentation, what are other alternatives to aesthetically treat that scar? It Is very noticeable and i have to mask it all the time with lipstick
