It could be that she's allergic to the sand, but you definitely don't want to be using scented sand as you said. What sand are you using? What about the bedding that you are using? Have you cleaned her cage with anything scented?
I'm not using sand anymore. I was using scented hamster bath sand. I am currently using kitchen towels and shredded kitchen towels where she nests. I cleaned the top area and the outer area of the bin with a paper towel with some dilluted insect spray( not directly sprayed but poured onto the paper towel) that was made with peppermint oil, but that was after her first wound appeared. I was afraid that there were insects getting to her.
