Question 1

is it possible to sensitive yourself to metal allergy using your prosthetic limb?

Nickel allergy: Contact dermatitis to metals that contain nickel or cobalt can develop at any time.  Any item that contacts your skin directly and contains nickel can 'sensitize" your immune system to nickel and the result is rash at the site where your skin contacts nickel in the future.

Question 4

More info.: Large dose of steroid can cause acne.  However the rash may also be just a part of the swollen lips and eyes process which returns when the level of steroid starts to fall off.  I presume that you are on Benadryl (diphenhydramine).
