Question about Ball's wrinkly nose

[Dog Shrink]

My son's ball shed prob about 3 weeks ago. We both noticed that it didn't look liek the top of his head had shed as well as it should have as there were still a couple small dingy spots. Well we had him out tonight and noticed that the very end of his nose was a little pruny/wrinkly looking and dry. Any ideas what this is? How to fix it? Would it be ok to rub a lil baby oil/mineral oil on it to help? Just an FYI Loki is about 3-ish years old normal male.

Here's a pic to give you an idea of his habitat. It's a 90 gallon slate bottom tank and he's about 3-ish foot long (not quite 4 foot). The part you can't see (his moist side) has a HUGE water pot and gravel substrait to maintain mositure covered in sphagnum moss around the water pot. The part you can see is his hot hide.

Thanks for the help guys.

You can give him a warm bath to help remove old shed. Now that fall is in the air even in Florida, some of ours had a bit of trouble shedding this time around.

I knew about the warm bath for body shed but how does that work for his nose. It's directly on the very tip of his nose.
