They are raised at first but over time they wear down. If the whipping is severe enough they stay raised.
good luck

I'm going to guess a flat whip will leave flat scars and a sharp whip will leave raised scars.

This page has a picture of a whipped slave. (Horrible stuff)

Looks like the scars are ropy. I think the injury is mostly bruising, slicing, swelling/inflamation (not so much scrap).
I hope your story points out how bad whipping is . . .
