Hello,
Skin lesions that last so long need a good visit with the doctor and sometimes a biopsy of the lesion is indicated to rule out tumors of the skin.
It is important that he sees the doctor and makes sure it is not a skin tumor and not just try remedies or over the counter medications.
I hope I have answered to your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
Kind regards,
