Your tortoise is getting some pyamiding. I would send you the care guide for leopards sulcatas and star tortoises but I don't know how on this kindle fire I am currently using so ill ask @Tom to send you the care guide. And while he's here he can probably help you with the nostril problem.

Hello and welcome, I not an expert but I would suggest you soak him in warm water. Get a soft tooth brush and try brushing around his nostril to help remove some of the dry shin around his nostril. I always brush my Sammy's face and teeth, he like to be brushed when he's in his bath. I have 3 different brushes. I'm sure you will get somemore suggestions. Nice looking Sulcata! Just keep soaking to minimize Paramiding and helps remove dry skin.
