It is possible for your lip bumps to be reduced by steroid injections, but it is tough to know for sure without examining you. You should go to an expert facial plastic surgeon or dermatologist to get a more definite answer. Be sure to talk to the doctor about how long ago you had the cold sores.

i would stay away from the steroid injections and let these improve with time. the steroids may make the cold sores recur again
