A dry, flaky nose and facial scratching in dogs can indicate a few things, from simple dry skin or allergies to more serious conditions like autoimmune diseases or fungal infections. Seasonal changes, especially in dry climates, can exacerbate skin issues. Providing a humidifier indoors might help. Avoid applying human lotions, as they can be toxic if licked. Observe if he's scratching other areas, if there's any redness, or if the flaking is accompanied by discharge. If symptoms persist or worsen, a vet can properly diagnose the cause and recommend appropriate treatment.
