Yesterday there was just a small red bump at the eye corner, and a day later a scab-like bump appeared on the nose — I don’t know what skin condition it is, and as a new owner I don’t know how to treat it.
Severe tear stains can irritate the skin under the eye, causing allergy, scabbing, and infection; avoid skin antibacterials near the eye, relieve the tear stains first, keep the area dry, and let scabs fall off. Tear fluid buildup can also cause conjunctivitis or keratitis, needing regular cleaning and eye drops. Adjust diet and consider a nasolacrimal check.

Scabbing and hair loss on the front elbow joints is most often from excessive friction—the elbows bear weight on hard floors, irritating the skin and causing calluses and scabs. Protect the elbows and soften/moisturize the skin; pad the resting area. Severe cases need veterinary care; fungi or allergies can also cause it.
