My senior cat has a new brownish line on her nose. Is it serious?

Question

My cat Gypsy (about 11 years old, inside cat) has over the past month or so developed a blood brownish colored line around the outer edge of her nose and near the nostral area. She has never had anything like this before. She isn't acting weird, but just looking at it worries me because like I said it never looked like that before. Is that something I should be concerned about?? Pet's info: Cat | Ragdoll | Female | spayed | 11 years and 5 months old | 8 lbs

This could be a normal change given her breed and age. If it looks raw/ulcerated, red, increases in size and/or seems painful Gypsy needs to see her veterinarian to make sure it isn't something more serious.
