I had cystic acnes on my nose last summer starting February and cleared up on May though it cleared up it left some scars. I went to my first doctor she says that it wasn't some type of scars but sebaceous hyperplasia we agreed to get electrocautery but did nothing to the bumps, Yesterday I went to another dermatologist this time a board certified one she says that it was scars fibrous something, i was hoping to get co2 or some type of procedures but she declined and just gave me tretinoin and new regimen because apparently there's still some active acnes buried on the scars (The scars are red) and she told me to go back a month later when it is all clear and we'll proceed to get co2. (Sorry for my bad english it's not my mother language)
Will co2 be great for this type of scars?
It looks much worse in person
Here are raised scar treatments for you to check out. I wish I was more of an expert and could tell you exactly which one is best.

I know almost nothing about keloid or raised scars probably because I never got any. But I did get one on my leg which is a red dot that just feels hard and is slightly sensitive, I don't remember what the derm called it, but she said it was a scar from anything from a mosquito bite or injury. Other than that I never got any raised scars. The presumption was that I'd have to get an injection into it, cut off, lasered off or something else.
I just know they are more likely to develop on non-white skin. There are treatments as Dan posted, but which ones to get are really case specific. When you have Fitzpatrick 4 and above skin, it may make certain treatments riskier or less risky and so on. The only thing I can say is research it as best you can and get a doctor you trust to explain to you a treatment that makes logical sense.
In many ways, the "tell" or "red flag" I've encountered most of the time from doctors/plastic surgeons is if they suggest things that just logically don't pan out to common sense. In many ways, I've found that what makes the most sense to me both in researching online + how the doctor explains it is more likely the be a good gamble.
