hi, welcome to HCM,
Hypertrophic scar left after acne can be managed with intralesional Triamsinolone acetonide given by dermatologist.
Kelo-cote cream or contractubex cream is a good option for hypertrophic scar.
for itching you can take tab cetrizine 5 mg once daily.
apply cream twice daily and consult your dermatologist for ILS.
thanks
