Default Scratches on the Nose

My cat is an outdoor cat, and she always has a scabby nose. It will almost
heal
up, and then the next day it will be all bloody again. It's not coming from the
nostrils, just on the outside of her nose. What could be happening? Any help
would be appreciated. Thanks


Does she have a white or light colored nose? Cats can get skin cancer easily
if they're outdoor cats, light colored cats being the most likely but others
can, too. Are you in a particularly sunny climate? She probably needs a vet
trip. It could be an allergy of some sort, too. Contact dermatitis. Any
number of things.
