A bald patch above the nose is often the result of over-grooming due to illness: the baldness happens when a rabbit is constantly bring their paws up onto their nose area because of nasal irritation (caused by illness, like snuffles or another respiratory infection; or dental disease, where the rabbit's teeth have grown up into the nasal passages; or some other problem.)
Another cause can be mites or another parasite.
If your rabbit has baldness, you should bring her to a vet who has experience and knowledge in rabbits (not all vets do).
Anytime you are concerned about your rabbits health, please have her checked by a vet! Watch the rabbit closely for other signs of illness so that you can gauge how serious the problem is. If, aside from the baldness, there are no other signs of illness, you can wait a few days until it's convenient for you to go to the vet's; but if the situation is an emergency, the rabbit needs vet care immediately.
