Why can't i get rid of a bad scar and little dots/bumps on the outside top of my lip? once had a cold, used abreva cleared up in 2 wks still flares up

See a dermatologist: Abreva does not do much. Prescription valacyclovir is very effective for herpes if taken correctly. That means 1G pill, take 2 pills at first tingling (prodrome).
