Thanks for contacting health caremagic.

Acne scar is easy to treat but hypertrophic or keloid scar is difficult to treat.

Keloid or hypertrophic scar best treated by steroid injection.
Steroid decease a size and faltten a scar and decrease inflammation and redness of scar.

Steroid decrease overgrowth of lesion.
steroid injection treatment is long time procedure.

Laser therapy can use to remove hypertrophic or keloid scar.
This is short time procedure for healing.
vascular laser is more helpful in shoulder keloid lesion.

you have to meet dematologist for diagnosis.

I hope my suggetion helpful to you.

Take care.
Thanks.
