What is going on....

P.S. Vet said the hair lose is old age (not sure I believe that though) and the lose of color could be an auto immune disease either case, he said nothing to worry about...BUT...I do worry
I think I've seen pictures of yorkies with similar hair loss on their noses. I do not believe it's from old age. Alex is 14 and doesn't have hair loss on his nose.

Crystal, what color is the skin that's showing? Is is dark? I've wondered if this is something similar to leather ear... a fungus, I think, is what causes that.
