Some more information may be needed. One question that comes to mind is about how she healed from the injury. Injuries to their skin will trigger shedding as that is the way they repair their skin. The more extensive the damage, the more times they may need to shed. It may be possible that her skin has not completed healing or some other condition is still existing with her skin that is triggering her to go into shed mode. To much humidity may be a factor and could cause skin irritation that would trigger the shedding and may account for the high moisture content of the shed skin which may also account for the odor. If that is the case, a dryer area with a basking light may help. Other keepers may have some suggestions. At any rate good luck with her.
