That's a long time: May be lip eczema that doesn't get a chance to heal fully. A dermatologist can help. Sometimes a primary care doctor can resolve the problem, but after 5 years, it is fine to see a dermatologist, and perhaps an allergist and an ENT doctor. While waiting for the appointment, avoid anything that irritates lips (like spicy hot sauce). One may be allergic to some lip balm ingredients (bring to appt).
