Skin Has Been Flaking Since Rhinoplasty 2 Years Ago, What Can I Do?
Every night when I shower I have to scrub it to remove the dead skin or it will accumulate. It almost looks like my nose has psoriasis with the red blotches after I scrub it, gently might I add. Not abrasive in the least. I tried moisturizing it every night and not touching it but that doesn't work, it just accumulates so I have to scrub it off. After I scrub it off at night the next morning it looks normal, but then I have to repeat the method again. I'm sure this isn't normal. What can I do?

Need photos
Most likely not related to your rhinoplasty but without knwoing what was done to your nose and see photos it is difficult to say.

Skin Has Been Flaking Since Rhinoplasty 2 Years Ago, What Can I Do?
I have performed rhinoplasty for over 20 years and that doesn't sound like a normal consequence after a rhinoplasty. You might want to see a local dermatologist to have the skin evaluated.

Skin
Sloughing of skin after a fhinoplasty is not uncommon but, of short duration. I think you need to consult a dermatologist

Skin on nose flaking after rhinoplasty
This problem is likely unrelated to the rhinoplasty. Sounds like hyperkeratosis. Without a picture, difficult to answer with any degree of certainty. Consider seeing a dermatologist.
