I've been dealing with some itching and dry cuts behind my ears. It's really weird because they seem to appear and disappear after a few days, but when they're there, they're super painful. Any idea what could be causing this or how I can make it stop?

This could be fungal infection u need to evaluate with your Dermatologist and get appropriate treatment with oral antifungal medications and topical lotions,once the infection is resolved your hair fall would come down,I suggest you not to use minoxidil with active fungal infection,above this your personal hygiene care is more important.

I've got these tiny dots all over my face, kind of like little bumps and they're not quite like pimples. They're all over, but especially on my nose. My skin's super sensitive, so most creams and meds just don't work for me. I'm really hoping to get clear and smooth skin without having a bad reaction. What do you think I should try?

That could be mellasma, visit Dermatologist for appropriate treatment.
