Hello everyone.
I saw a dermatologist today and she said that normally a post inflammatory erythema after a cold sore tends to resolve over time (within 6 months), but I noticed that the redness on my lip after the cold sore has gone is really persistent.
No changes / improvements since the cold sore has healed.
I have a big red mark on my upper lip and I’m so frustrated and scared.
Anyone who experienced a permanent red mark/scar after a cold sore?
Please share your experiences!
If the redness has been temporary in your case, how long did it take to heal completely?
Thank you so much
