Rhinophyma is the bulbous, irregular thickening of nasal skin that develops in severe long-standing rosacea. While medical management slows progression, only surgical or laser debulking restores nasal contour.
Treatment options
- CO2 laser resurfacing — precise, controlled, excellent for moderate cases.
- Electrocautery decortication — efficient debulking for severe disease.
- Cold-steel excision with secondary intention healing — reserved for the most advanced cases.
