Why is my rabbit losing nose fur and has crusty skin around its eyes?

Question

Hello my name is Joanna. I would like to ask you about my rabbit Oreo. She's 3 months old. The fur on her nose and most likely her mouth has been falling off. Crust of flakes starts to surround her nose making more fur fall. On her eyelids too, crust of flakey skin keeps on emerging. Almost all of her fur on her nose is gone. Pet's info: Small Animal | Rabbit | Female | unspayed

Poor Oreo! Problems such as rubbing up against objects, allergies to food or environment, or infections of the skin from bacteria, yeast or fungus may all cause hair loss on the face and nose. If you can't figure out the cause, it is best to take Oreo into a vet for care to take a possible sample of the area. Looking in her environment for things she could be rubbing up against and removing/changing them may also help if a medical reason isn't found. A good balanced diet can also help if the skin flaking and hair loss is due to a nutrition deficit or allergy.
