I would recommend having Scarlet examined by a vet. It appears bumpy and all around the edges of the nose, which could be caused by some types of liver disease, autoimmune disease, infection, and even cancer. The vet will do a thorough examination and may recommend taking a sample for examination under the microscope or a biopsy to be able to determine the cause.
