What is Rhinophyma?
Rhinophyma is a rare and severe form of rosacea that primarily affects the nose, causing it to become enlarged, red, and bulbous over time. This condition is often associated with thickened skin and irregular texture due to an overgrowth of sebaceous (oil-producing) glands. While the exact cause isn’t fully understood, rhinophyma is more common in men and may develop in individuals with untreated or long-standing rosacea.
