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.
