Hi. Welcome to Healthcaremagic.
I read your query. Cold sores are Herpes virus infections. It has a healing process of its own. But since you peeled it, the healing is delayed.
Since its on moving area i.e. lips, keep the area moist with creams to avoid cracking. Apply ice over area which will help in soothing.
Cooled used tea bags are also good. Most important is maintain good nutrition and hydration. Take multivitamin tablet once daily for 2 weeks.
Do not peel it off. You can consult a physician and start with some antiviral medication orally or topically if required, but they are more useful in early phase.
Hope the answer helps. Thank you!
