I can post photos of his nose if anyone would like to see it, maybe it'll give a better chance of finding out what it is and how to get rid of it.
Sandy my 1 year has also has a tiny patch (A line) of slightly crusty skin on her nose also...I know what it is as I have seen it..It's caused by the wire of the cage when she rubbs her nose when she chews the cage...If you send a pic I can tell you if it looks like my girl..I would have attached a pic but I don't have a good one that show her nose....It's been there since about a months....
