Get seen: This is cancer, likely a basal cell carcinoma, until proved otherwise. These can usually be removed with a certainty of cure. A dermatology consult is in order. There are a variety of other possibilities.

Skin biopsy: You have had a skin lesion on your face for over 3 months that your doctors cannot diagnose and that has not responded to treatment. I would recommend that you get a biopsy performed and tested for histology, routine, AFB and fungal culture to find out what it is.
