Do I have Rhinophyma? If so, what can treat this?

January 1, 2020
Asked By:BadSkin101 in Nashville, TN

Hello, as a previous Health Teacher, my research seems to show that I have a very mild version of Rhinopehyma. I had two Rhinoplasties to reduce the size of my nose; this was after my nose "ballooned" in size, but before the rough texture, leading to a possibly misdirected surgery / treatment course. Now that the rough texture /extreme pores have appeared, it is identical to starting cases of Rhinopehyma, but dermatologists aren't agreeing, only offering Micro-Needle procedures. Help and advice?
