Hi Dear, Welcome to Chat Doctor. Understanding your concern.  As per your query you have discoloration after healing of cold sore. Well the probable reason for discoloration is post inflammatory hyperpigmentation. 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 comic acid containing cream (Bolivia) , 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,
