What is the best treatment for mild rhinophyma?

July 21, 2016
Asked By:bjinde in Bear, DE

My dermatologist recommended dermabrasion for mild rhinophyma but stated, due to the difficulty of resurfacing, the tip of my nose could not be treated. Is this a standard problem? Is there a better alternative which would allow more satisfactory results?
