Long-term management for facial redness, flushing, and rosacea-related breakouts.
Subtype 3
This subtype develops when long-term, unmanaged inflammation causes the skin to thicken and the surface to become irregular and bumpy, most commonly on the nose (a pattern known as rhinophyma). It progresses gradually and is more common in men.
Chronic, unmanaged inflammation leads to thickening of the skin and irregular surface nodules, most commonly on the nose (rhinophyma).
Early and aggressive treatment of milder rosacea subtypes to prevent tissue buildup.
In early stages, oral isotretinoin. In advanced stages, surgical or laser ablation to reshape the nose.
Myth: Rhinophyma (thickened nose) only happens to men. Fact: While much more common in men, it can occasionally affect women.
At the first sign of skin thickening, enlarged pores, or an irregular texture on the nose.
