She's 5 or 7 days old when I notice that there's something white circle in her nose but i didn't pay much attention since i thought it was normal. It grew bigger day by day but it still looked white, until I check her nose again this morning, then i saw that it looks rotten or smth. I first thought that it was bleeding but when i touch it, it was hard. She still eat and drink milk a lot tho. huhu pls help me. Do you know something that could cure her with just herbal medicines or home remedies? There's no vet here in our place so, bringing her to a vet is a little 😭..

I'm not really experienced with illnesses in rabbits, but that looks like it would really need a vet's help as it seems to be an infection, though i can't say for sure. @JBun is our health and wellness mod, she might be able to help more.
After a quick scour in that group's free materials, i found a link to googlemaps that might be the easiest to navigate the nearest good vet to you: FuzzyBunny.ph - Exotic Vet List - Google My Maps

Looks like vent desease (Rabbit syphilis) to me, definitly see a vet. Cureable with antibiotics, harmless for other creatures.
If it's some fungal infection different treatment is necessary.
 
There's no way to diagnose what's happening based on photo. You need to take this rabbit to a vet, especially as there are signs it's getting worse. There are many causes for skin scabs/fur loss that require diverse treatments informed by a vet to ensure you don't make the problem worse.
 
Like Preitler mentioned, could be rabbit syphilis or possibly fungal dermatitis. Rabbit syphilis in adult rabbits, is usually treated with penicillin g procaine/benzathine injections(NEVER orally), though for a kit so young, a different antibiotic may be prescribed by the vet.. Fungal dermatits is treated with a rabbit safe antifungal. Look at the link posted in Catlyn's post, to see if you can find a knowledgeable rabbit vet close to you.

Could also be sarcoptic mange. Please get your bunny to a rabbit vet. If there are none near you, you may be able to arrange a phone consultation. Join the group mentioned above for more advice on this.
