Cat nose raw and red

My cat is a 15 year old Siamese. She has a red raw nose. Some of the hair is missing around it. Any ideas to what I could put on her nose to clear up her problem?

Dunno if it'll help, but a bit of petroleum jelly would be lick-safe at least.

You might want to have the vet look at it, cats can get cancer on their nose leather from sunbathing, especially white cats. The vet can also be sure it isn't ringworm.

She never has been outside so I don't think it is ringworm. I am going to keep a eye on it to see if it will clear up on it's own.
