Thank you for question. The scars appear to be lighter than your skin tone because the skin along the scar is unable to produce pigments after recovery. Although it is not possible to get rid of it totally, the appearance of the scar can be improved.
The white scars can be camouflaged by using epidermal cell transplantation of melanocytes. This will bring pigmentation to the white scars. However, it may require a few sessions to get a satisfactory outcome. As for the raised profile of the scar, some steroid injection may help to level it with the skin surrounding it.
I hope my reply helps.
Best regards,
