This skin condition can be an advanced form of rosacea or happen without a rosacea diagnosis. Surgery is the main form of treatment, but there are other options available, too.

Key Insights

Contents What Is Rhinophyma? Rhinophyma is a rare skin condition affecting your nose. Learn about the causes, symptoms, and treatment options for this condition. What are the treatment options for rhinophyma? Treatment of rosacea may inhibit the progression of rhinophyma but this has not been conclusively confirmed [2].

Final Thoughts

The most effective medical treatment appears to be systemic isotretinoin, which can reduce the bulk of rhinophyma [3]. This 5-step technique combines multiple treatment modalities, complementing one another, to treat even the most severe cases of rhinophyma. Most importantly, this is accomplished in a safe and consistent manner with a quick recovery. Once rhinophyma becomes advanced, treatment often requires surgical or laser intervention to reshape the nose. However, in the early stages, it can be managed non-surgically using prescription medication, topical therapy, and light-based treatments.
