Q: Lip scar from biting skin off of my lip?

I have a white/discolored mark on my upper lip from where I used to bite dead skin off of my lip, I did this for a LONG time (maybe years). And now I stopped, and I have a white mark where the dead skin used to be, it looks sort of like a scab, but it feels just like the rest of my lip.

I have been using chapstick, but it it still noticeable in the mirror.

Any ideas? And how I could get rid of this?
