Red & Split Lips Are Painful Looking on Toddler

I am looking for advise for my 1-1/2 yr old son. About every month he gets these red spots on his lips and then they crack & open and are so painful looking. I am wondering if this is normal? I am putting aquaphor on his lips & now neosporin. It is something that seems to have to run its course and then goes away after a while and his lips look fine. But it always comes back frequently & worse & usually in the same spots. I am very frustrated because I am not sure why his lips are like this and its not like he's in bad weather conditions...
