How to remove a white cold sore scar? (Photo)

Question

I have a white scar on my lip from a cold sore. It's very tiny, but the white scar is noticeable on my lip and making me very self-conscious. I've used vitamin E, Maderma, and scar treatment from Forces of Nature. I've considered a glycolic acid peel but read it could cause more harm. What is my best option? Thank you.

Following the injection of a tiny amount of local anesthesia, the small white scar on the lower lip can very easily be removed with a scalpel by a technique known as scalpel sculpting. The normal edges of the resulting tiny wound will heal together quite quickly, without the need for stitches. Make sure that you consult with a board certified aesthetic physician. Best of luck.
