Rhinophyma is a progressive thickening of the skin of the nose, which takes on a bulging, irregular appearance. It is usually related to an advanced form of rosacea and mainly affects the lower part of the nose.
How it presents: thick skin, dilated pores, redness, and a gradual increase in nasal volume.
Associated factors: a history of rosacea and skin changes sustained over time.
Which specialist treats it? The dermatologist evaluates the skin and the course of the condition, and in some cases the plastic surgeon participates to assess cosmetic correction options.
