Hi Dear,

Welcome to HCM.

Understanding your concern. As per your query you have discoloration after healing of cold sore . Well the probable reason for discoloration is post inflammatory hyper pigmentation. I would suggest you to stop using all the creams you are using at present . Wash your face with mild soap and cold water twice daily , apply kojic acid containing cream ( kojivit ) , exfoliate your skin twice a week and apply vitamin E oil at night for proper healing of skin . If condition doesn't get improve then consult dermatologist for proper examination . Doctor may recommend chemical peeling or dermabrasion .

Get Well Soon.

Best Wishes,
Dr. Harry Maheshwari
