Hello,
Skin lesions that do not respond to treatments or that last more than a few months, need to be seen by a dermatologist and if possible a biopsy should be done to determine the exact cause of it.
So, I would recommend you to see a dermatologist and have a biopsy performed.
I hope this is helpful and answers your question. Let me know if I can assist you further.
