Hi, it appears to be some infection, due to dead tissue getting infected, or a viral infection, So i advise you to consult a physician for diagnosis and treatment.
If there is discharge get it tested for culture and sensitivity and can use medicines according to that result. Thank you.

1. The medicine Valcivir (Valacyclovir) which your skin Doctor prescribed is used to treat herpes infections like cold sores and shingles, and if he again prescribed the same for your cracks in lips, it is better that you get an opinion/consultation with a Medicine Doctor regarding any compromised Immune Status.
