cold sore scar

by shy309, Sep 10, 2008 08:42AM
Hi, I had a cold sore two weeks ago.  It left me a scar I have rednes the area is inflated and I had litle bumps that some times they fade but other times they feel them like pimples. I am using a antibiotic but I am afraid that this will be a permanent scar.

Hi,

Scar marks due to cold sores are commonly seen. However, the intensity and spread of these marks may vary. The treatment options are therefore dependent on these factors.

Topical applications and cosmetic treatments are available for this. They may also be available OTC for some users. However, professional advise may be needed in some cases depending on extent of lesions.

Some of these include, applications such as collagen, microdermabrasion etc..

Do let me know if you may have any other queries.

Regards.
