Hi

I'm new here, maybe you can help. I've been suffering for about 5years with these hypertrophic/keloid scars on my right cheek. I've gone to a few Dermatologist who gave me creams and injections, but nothing works. 

I would really love to get rid of these scars, please help. Any suggestions or ideas are greatly appreciated.

You mentioned injections - how many corticosteroid injections have you gotten?

I am interested to know as well.

I have one small bump on my jaw line and got one corticosteroid injection in the past, but it came back. Can several injections help to remove this permanently?

One is not enough. You'll need at least 3, if it's as small as a teardrop, to 10, if it's bigger (like those of the original poster), and in my case, infinite, 'cause they keep growing back. You could also have a combination of injections and one or two sessions CO2 lasers to lighten the colour.
