Let’s clear up a common misconception: this likely isn’t a “nose filter,” and it’s not just mild swelling.
What you’re seeing can be consistent with rhinophyma a severe, late-stage form of rosacea that often affects the nose.
Typical signs include:
• progressive, bulbous thickening of the skin
• persistent redness
• visible surface vessels
• a thickened “orange-peel” texture
Quick reminder: you can’t diagnose anyone from a clip alone but this is what rhinophyma commonly looks like.
Treatment is the tricky part… Part 2 coming next.
