Why does my dog have a red sore on her nose that looks like a burn?

Question

My dog has a small red sore on her nose. It almost looks like a burn but I have no idea what she couldn’t have burnt herself on. Couldn’t find a direct answer in the dog skin sores section..

This doesn't look like anything specific. A burn is not likely. It could be an allergic reaction or it could be a histiocytoma tumor starting. I suggest you have her examined by your vet. It is not an emergency.
