I got a cold sore 2 weeks ago...only the 2ndt time in my life (last time was like 14 years ago) this time it left a big ugly scar where the cold sore was....it looks like I still have the cold sore even though the scabs came off already. I used abreva and after I got denavir from the doctor......The scar looks light pink and it makes my cry everytime i look at it. It´s horrible I don´t even want people to see me. My question is, is there something that can be done about this? anything to minimize the scar? I´m so upset, because i keep reading cold sores don´t leave scars and now i have this ugly thing on my lip
