Chronic cold sensitivity to nose 3.5 years post surgery

RealSelfmember098938Nov 24, 2023
About 1.5 years post revision tip plasty and a few months into a stressful routine and family situation as well as 6 months post vaccine (for context) I developed a cold intolerance on my nose. The skin gets cold so easily and feels tight and constricted. It happens in anything below 74 degrees but can happen even when I’m working out and my body is hot. It’s ruining my life. The appearance of the nose looks worse but feels awful. What can I do? I refuse being a rare case with chronic issues.
