    Problem with ball pythons nose please help

    Okay so my ball python shed one day and had a little skin left on her nose, well not thinking much of it I figured it come off with next shed.
    Well she had rubbed her nose against one of the hides or something and she ended up scraping the scales back on her nose. Well shes has shed several time since this has happened and her nose hasnt gotten any better. The scales seem to not grow back on her nose and now it raw after she sheds. Does anyone know what to do? I away at college, and tight one money so the vet is my last option.
    My temps and humility are all correct.

    If you right click on the little picture image and click open in a new tap there is my picture. I am not sure how else to put a picture in.

    I would try a touch of neosporin without the pain killer, or vetericyn.

    Yes my hatchlings sometimes get this, when they arent comfortable with there enclosure they rub trying to escape, It looks bad, But the fact its pink and open it will heal after a few sheds.

    Thanks for putting that picture up for me. I didnt know how to other than the way that i did. It usually heals up but the scales dont come back, and if they do they rub off.
