Dry nose

Our 3-4 yr old OES rescue has a very dry nose. She does not like me to touch it also. I have washed it and tried to put cream on it but she licks it off. Anyone have any ideas what couls be causing this?Or what to put on it. :?:

Does she always have fresh water available? Is there a wound on her nose anywhere, inside it even?
She may be coming down with something, so I would just keep an eye on her.
no cuts or sores and yes she have water around all the time

HUMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMM
Does she lick it a lot? Maybe in a way that you wouldn't notice as it being potentially painful, like when she licks her lips? Lucy does that a lot and every so often, particularly in the winter when it's very dry, it gets all dry and flaky. I use straight aloe vera gel and put it on everytime I can since I know that she will lick it off too. It does seem to help but it does get annoying following her around with a jar of aloe all the time!
