I had a cold sore almost 2 monthes ago, i never picked at it and just put medicine on it for it to go away, and i did some swimming during the time and my cold sore scab fell off a couple times and then came back and then i kept putting medicine on it and then it went away completely. But you can still see a little red mark there, like a little red circle, and you have to look up close to see it, but i heard that new skin is forming there and that it takes a while, is this true and will it go away?
10 pts for the one who answers both questions.

The little red circle is the new skin. It will take it awhile to look like it used to. This new skin is just tender and new and fresher. I used to get a lot of cold sores and still do once in awhile. My last cold sore was about 2 months ago also and I can still see the place where it was. But like you, it has to be closely looked at to be noticed so I don't sweat it.

Yes your red mark will eventually go away completely, it takes a few weeks for the skin to heal completely, unfortunately, you will probably develop more cold sores with time..and have to start the healing all over. and yes it is just new skin growing over..it's fine..you pretty soon you wont notice it at all.

Yes, it's new skin. It might not go away because even sometimes zits can leave permanent scars.
Look into those scar creams... maybe some cocoa butter or vitamin e oils. Or talk with your pharmacist and see what they recommend.

it should go away. its a sensitive area, where the skin is thinner. it will just take longer to heal and go away.
