She has this scar looking bald spot on her nose for a couple days now. Hasn’t really gone away and it might be getting a little bigger. Not sure what it is.

Considering the picture you showed, this bald spot could be either related to a mite infestation or to a bacterial infection. I would recommend to ask the vet to perform a skin scrape - this might reveal an infection or a mite infestation. Appropriate treatment will be then prescribed.
