Brief Answer:
Hypertrophic scar
Detailed Answer:
Hello,
I have noted your concern and I have viewed the image. She has got a red and raised scar at the site of surgery - hypertrophic scar.
I suggest her to use a silicone gel, twice daily e.g either Biocorneum gel or Vaniza gel Or Kelo-cote gel, twice daily.
These are prescription medications and I advice you to kindly talk to your local practitioner for a prescription of the same.
Hope I have answered your query.
Take care
