The best way to explain what it looks like it me is a “blood boil” (I thinks it fairly self explanatory). I don’t know how you would go about treating it, but I think thats what it is. I also have the same question about her beak.

Boils are a infection. Humans can get them, normally their full of puss though.

The spot on the comb may be fowl pox. It's a virus that is transmitted by biting insects, usually mosquito's. The dry form usually runs it's course in a few weeks with no real issues. The wet form causes lesions in the mouth and throat and is more serious.

The bird looks like it was debeaked, and when that is done it's usually cauterized and will not grow back. It's usually done with birds that are kept in over crowded conditions to prevent pecking and cannibalization. Most birds adapt and do fine regardless as long as they are able to eat and drink well.
