Crusty growth on nose??

• Crusty growth on nose?? Ang Pange Posted : 5/9/2006 3:54:11 PM hi - Im new to this board. I have a 13 year old Brittany who has grown what I can only call a "crusty growth" on her nose. It seems to come off, then start to grow back. Its scaley, nodules, that are dry (do not ooze pus or anything). the growth was about 1/2 cm thick before my dh scrubbed it off. She doesnt seem to be sick with a fever, and her behavior seems pretty normal for her. She also has a red swollen patch on her elbow, which Im not sure if this is related. I have made a vet appt for next monday... However, I am wondering if any of you have any ideas of what this might be? Thanks!
