Any skin injury that breaks the skin can leave redness after it heals. Herpes is no different than injury, burn, or anything else. It will go away over time. If it continues another few weeks, see a dermatologist to see if something more might be done. In future, effective treatment (a large single dose of valacyclovir) can stop cold sores if taken at first sign (red bump, before it blisters).
