A member asked:

I had a cold sore in the right corner of my lip and it healed but now there's a hard,flesh colored, painless bump there. should i worry?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Probably not: After an inflammatory lesion like a cold sore heals, it often leaves behind some scar tissue. This usually fades away over days or weeks. If it hasn't resolved within a month, you might want to have it looked at by a healthcare provider.
