I got this scar when I was little and I cannot figure out if it is a keloid scar or hypertrophic scar, please help.

Hypertrophic. margins of the original wound. Keloids are like tumors because they can grow wildly out of control.

You could get cortisone injections to flatten it. Excising is another option, but you may heal with another raised scar. Hard to predict.
