Scleroma treatment in Zapopan

Scleroma, also known as rhinoscleroma, is an uncommon chronic infection that affects the upper respiratory tract, especially the nose, and causes progressive hardening and thickening of the tissues.

Common symptoms: persistent nasal congestion, crusted discharge, gradual deformation of the nose, and, in advanced stages, obstruction of the airflow.

Common causes: it originates from a long-standing infection and is usually associated with conditions of prolonged exposure or crowding.

Which specialist treats it? Although it affects tissues visible in the skin and mucous membranes that the dermatologist can assess, its study is shared with ear, nose, and throat specialists. Given a nasal obstruction that does not improve and changes the appearance of the nose, the prudent course is to seek a professional evaluation.
