A member asked:
I get cold sores and this last one i had left a bright red spot on my lip. like a scar. the cold sore is healed though. will this scar go away?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Yes, most likely: Most cold sores are pretty superficial and will leave a reddened area for a while which usually fades over months, not days. If the cold sore had a secondary infection or the scab was picked, it can injury the deeper layer of skin and cause it to scar. This generally doesn't happen
