How Can I Get Rid Of The Scar On Lip After A Cold Sore?

I had a cold sore over a month ago that left a scar on my top lip and was thinking of using a chemical peel such as kojic or lactic acid to help the scar go away, but im kinda nervous cause I have never used any of these products before and I don t want to make it worse. Please help cause this scar has made me really self conscious and I don t have money to go see a dermatologist.

I would have been able to suggest better if I had a picture. However start applying contractubex ointment on the scar daily night and it will fade away
