Thank you for submitting your question regarding Nova. I recommend that she sees her veterinarian. Has she been digging or rubbing her nose on anything to cause scrapes? That is a possibility a young dog. If this is not the cause, there are autoimmune conditions that cause loss of pigment to the nose. Discoid lupus is an example. Finally, a skin infection is also possible. The veterinarian will examine her and decide how best to test or treat her. I hope this information helps!
