I'd check the viv to see if there's anything that could have injured her. If there is nothing like that in there, then it's not something that was caused externally, in which case perhaps a vet should take a look.
But first I'm interested to see what GP says when she sees the pics.
Btw, this snake is gorgeous!!

Look at this-
Casper did the same thing, dont know how but I should think he did it in the viv. tbh I didnt do anything to it as nothing needed done- it was dry and clean.
It was recommended that I use Tamodine on it to dry it up, but it wasnt necessary. Caspers head should be entirely better within a couple of sheds. |

Kellog has a mark very similar to the one on your snake's nose a33272 from since before we got him. Just looks like a glassy scale slightly different to the rest. We think he got it when he was smaller by trying to escape between the glass sliding doors, which he continued to do even though there was no chance of hm escaping! (We stopped it straight away by putting a paper binder over the edge of the glass). Obviously we never saw it as a wound, but it has never caused any problems to him with shedding etc.

Should correct itself after a few sheds, just keep tabs on it and double check everything in the viv.  |

completely agree with lucifer, it should just take a few sheds to resolve itself
it could have happened when she was starting to rub her last shed off? or she could have tried getting her head somewhere she shouldn't! lol 
as it's not an open/sore/bleeding wound i'd leave well alone, no need for tamodine/vetadine or anything, and just keep an eye on it and if possible remove the source of the problem if it's something obvious. |
