There could be all sorts of reasons for it: contact allergy (eg.plants), parasites (eg. mites) or food allergy (protein, gluten etc) to name but a few.

If her skin was generally dry and/or flakey it would probably be caused by incorrect diet but since it is specific to her ears and nose I doubt this would be the case.

If nothing rings any bells I suggest you take her to your vet, especially as the condition is re-occuring and causing her discomfort.
