Suggest Remedy For Dark Skin/scabs Around The Nose

Hello I am an African American female and I have always had a thick layer of dark skin on the sides of my nose. it sort of looks like when a scab is formed of over a cut or something. It itches sometimes, I have always wanted to know how to treat it or what it is. I have asked a few dermatologists, but no one seems to want to take time to properly diagnose it or treat it...
