 If your dog has a minor skin irritation on his or her nose that is caused by the dog using it's nose to dig or poking it threw a fence then you should correct such irritations by observing and modifying your dog's behavior. Thickening of the nose skin is common as a dog ages. You can help keep the animals nose soft by applying petroleum jelly or emollient creams made for humans. Any condition (unaccompanied by other signs) that does not improved within one week should be seen by a veterinarian. Conditions involving the inside of the nose should not be treated at home.
