My Huskies have been scratching their noses A LOT, the skin around their muzzles is getting pink. Any ideas why?

I agree with Babe...it sounds like allergies. Take them to the vet and see if they can give them something.

My Mom is a groomer:
So it all of them not just one? Bathe them really well in an aloe vera shampoo and try giving them a children's benedryl tablet and see if it gets better.
If it does it's allergies. If there's been a change in diet, a lot of dogs have wheat allergens. Lamb and Rice formula is best for dogs with food allergies, but the chances of all your dogs getting this at the same time is highly unlikely.
Summer allergies are a problem, so lots of baths and brushing (esp with huskies) and benedryl should get you through the summer. If it doesn't get better within a week or two bring them to the vet.

Nutmeg~y did u go so soon?~

Probably allergies. I used to get them all the time around this time of the year. I would rub the hair right off. Mommy's vet told her to give me Benedryl and it got better but dont do that until you check with your vet.

Dieta

I would take the dogs to a vet.
Also yeast infections will do this. and if that is the case the vet can give you some cream or shots to help.
Food is a possibility.
