He’s a new betta, I’ve had him for a week. He’s in a 5 gallon tank with plenty of live plants, tank is cycled with perfect water (78F, 0 nitrite, 0 ammonia, ~5ppm nitrate, ~7.5pH). I noticed he has small dots on his head but I’m not sure if it’s hole in head disease as he came like that. He‘a very active and I haven’t noticed any other signs of issues (no fin rot, etc). I hope everything is okay!

You mean his nose? 5 g is too small for tankmates btw
Those are sensory pits, they help fish detect environmental things like currents and pressure changes
nope, those are sensory pores!
Your fish is a dragon scale by the way which means that eventually they will go blind.
Panda cories need more space than a 5 gallon. Your fish is fine but his tank mates need more. I’d say a minimum of 15 gallons since they need floor space and schools.
You could do shrimp as buddies for him and as bottom feeders
