Hi,
From history and appearance of lesion it appears that you might be having habit of frequently moving your tongue surrounding your lips in circular fashion.
This will give lips moist and then dryness frequently causing cracks or blackish ring around your lips.
Quit this habit if you have.
Apply Vaseline or some moisturizing cream on lips.
Stop using lipstick if you are using.
Ok and take care.
