I've got a red mark on my face from garlic burn and I'm really worried about it scarring. Do you have any advice on how I can treat it, especially since I'm already using adapalene gel for my acne?

I'm starting to get really worried about these skin issues I've been having. My skin's been super itchy, and I'm dealing with these reddish, swollen patches on my hands and feet. It's got this burning sensation, plus the redness has spread to my palms, making it hard and painful to even close my hands. I was given an injection and have been taking Allegra 180, Atarax 10mg, and Zincovit, along with using Lactamine Lotion, but nothing's really helping. Can you suggest any blood tests I should get to figure out what's going on?

I'm noticing these small white and yellowish spots on the corners of my lips, and they've been there for about a month. They don't hurt or itch, but they look odd when I see them in the mirror. Any idea what this could be?

I've noticed some hair loss behind my ears and it's been really bothering me. I'm wondering, is it even possible for that hair to grow back? Also, if there are any effective treatments or medications you'd recommend for this, I'd love to hear about them.
