You could try rubbing a small amount of petroleum jelly on his nose to keep it moist and prevent cracking. If it continues than he should be examined by a vet to determine the cause and treat the problem. It could be related to an allergy and he may need an anti-histamine or anti-inflammatory to help treat.
