What can my wife do about a scar on the bridge of her nose which just won't heal?

Asked By:dlovett86 in Gainesville, FL

She fell and cut the bridge if her nose about 2 years ago. We didn't get stitches, because I didn't know the severity of her situation. Since then, she has seen two plastic surgeons, the most recent 4 months ago. He removed some scar tissue, and it still had a hard time healing. Today it peeled, and continues bleeding. What can she do?
