I have a lot of hyper-trophic scars...they are the raised scars, yet not keloids....
Usually they retain their colour for about 5 years or so...then they fade to white...BUT they are still there, still raised, they are still noticable just not as noticable when they are that glaringly red-purple colour when they are "new" or under 5 years old.
These scars will stay with you for life...like a tattoo.
