Hi guys, 

About 9 months ago I had my first cold sores outbreak on my chin, then 3 months after that I had another outbreak in the same spot. Then after scab had fallen off I was left with red pigment skin which I wasn't careful looking after (I.e. I would not apply any sun scream when going outdoors). I am beginning to suspect now that I may be left with red scar discoloured from rest of skin. I have had this mark now for almost 4 months and do not think It is fading away. Could anyone advise a procedure that may be used to help fade the scar.
Thanks for all the help.
