Generally with Keloids they will stay reddened and nothing much will help, though some of the advice I say below might.

With most scars, if you massage Vit E Cream/ Cocoa Butter/ Bio Oil into the scars it may help over time. It doesn't work instantly though but eventually it can make a huge difference. Different people's skin types are different so people find some work better than others for them and some people prefer some products to others fr other reasons too so just try one and see how you feel. The scars are very unlikely to go but they may fade lots and therefore become a lot less noticeable.

Surgery can also help. Sometimes this is by the use of lasers now and that can get rid of or dramatically reduce scarring. Though, some are done by traditional surgical means, it depends on the type, depth and extent of the scarring and if you're prone to scarring, surgical wounds can also lead to keloid scars so that is something, along with the cost that you need to bear in mind
