Elevated Patch From Mustache To Lip, Changing Color. Applying Steroid Cream. Advice?

Hi.... My husband is 47 years old. From past 2 months he has developed a long slightly elevated patch starting from the right corner of his moustache to the bottom of his lower lip on the right side. It's slightly scaly. He was prescribed a steroid cream for 10 days. It subsided but has come back again. Also the colour keeps changing , sometimes it looks pinkish red sometimes blackish. There's no itching. Pls advice.
