  Well, at this point, unless you see scabbing, skin irritation, or loss of fur around her nose, and/or the flakiness gets much worse, then it doesn’t sound like anything but a little dry skin. However, I’d keep an eye on it and observe her to see if she scratches at it, and just make sure that eventually this goes away.
  
  How long have you had her for and how long has she had the flakey nose?

  I’d ditto BB -doesn’t sound like an emergency and could be nothing-just stay vigilent
  
  Were you able to pick it off? Maybe it’s not skin but some dust or something that stuck to her nose?

  Hopefully it’s just a bout of dry skin. That can happen. But if it continues for a few more weeks, and/or you notice it progressing to the fur around her face, you might want to just get her checked to make sure it’s not some sort of parasitic problem.
