Answers:
You are having chronic allergic rhinitis. It may not go completely. But you don't have to suffer this. Most practical solution for you is to have a low dose steroid nasal spray at least once a day. Though oral steroids are bad for long term use, nasal sprays don't have much long term problems associated with steroids. You will have to take it daily even if you are not having cold as it is a preventive treatment. But you will have to consult an ENT specialist first and can start the treatment only after his advice.
Nose bleeds are most probably due to your frequent sneezing and cleaning of the nose which causes mild trauma inside the nose. But in rare cases there may be some blood vessels or polyps inside the nose which can cause bleeding. It can be sinusitis also. So when you consult the ENT doctor you can ask him about this problem also. But remember not to put your finger in the nose as far as possible.
About the lip problem I can't tell you a specific solution other than using a good lip balm. But you can take a multivitamin as vitamin deficiencies sometimes cause this.Health Question & Answer
