This is not herpes. Herpes doesnt leave scars on its own if it didnt cause secondary bacterial infection or major trauma to the sore happened but that would present as hard bump. You can get ut checked by your dermatologist but really this doesnt sound like. Problem. You doctor will provide you with removal/treatment options.
