I developed a cold sore 3 weeks ago. It looked like my top lip was just swollen. I went to my schools clinic to get it checked out and the doctor prescribed valacyclovir and told me to take ibuprofen and Benadryl as well. 6 days after the swelling went down and formed a scab. I put abreva on it and when I woke up I gently tried to remove the excess cream off with a warm towel, but the scab came off allowing the area to be exposed and very red. It hurt pretty bad. I put triple action on it and switched to using Campho Phenique. I noticed it starting to heal, but now the healing looks like its at a stand still in the past 5 days. It looks like its trying to get back to my normal lip color but is still a little red and a little bump (not as flat as the rest of my lip). I am currently still using camphor phenique and abreva. Can it be permanent at this point? Should I try seeing a doctor or using something else? Thank you.
