Fell on my nose 7 1/2wks ago.had scratches/cuts on nose.put ointment everyday.now wound is healed but nose is very oily.how can i treat this oiliness?

Frequent washing: Your nose if likely oily due to a reaction to the injury. The healing process can sometimes activate various cells within the injured site to a hyperactive state, such as hyperactive sebaceous glands. I would suggest washing with soap and water frequently until her nose becomes drier. If this doesn't work, you'll need to see a dermatologist for other answers.
