    GlossaryRhinophyma

    skin condition causing a large, red, bumpy nose

    Rhinophyma is a skin condition characterized by a large, red, bumpy, or bulbous nose. It is often associated with severe rosacea, a chronic inflammatory skin disease. The condition results from the thickening of the skin and an increase in sebaceous (oil) glands, leading to a distorted nasal appearance. Treatment may involve medications or surgical procedures to reshape the nose.
