For now - use vaseline petroleum jelly - many times a day. Avoid using any lip balms. Ask him to avoid eating chips and spicy food. These stain the lips with the spicy material and the child keeps licking the lips and a vicious cycle starts. See a qualified deramtologist near you. Warm regards, Dr Govind Suresh Mittal, Bengaluru
