Are they keloid scars or are they hypertrophic scars? If they are keloids, then you'll probably need to see a dermatologist about that since they are hard to treat. If you are referring to your hypertrophic scars as "keloid scars" then the good news is that hypertrophic scars can be treated using silicone scar gel or silicone scar strips. Hypertrophic scars also flatten a bit and turn white over time too. You can also try going to a dermatologist to see what treatment options they might recommend.

should consider combining with tretinoin as well! lots of evidence for that helping fade scars as well. https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/23952739/
