| Video Discription | http://www.aaronstonemd.com/rhinophyma.shtm Rhinophyma is a severe form of acne rosacea that results in enlargement of the nose with overgrowth of skin forming ridges and pits that frequently become infected. It is more common in men than women In the early stages accutane may help shrink the sebaceous glands but could adversely effect future surgical treatment of the disease. For more marked disease the treatment is full thickness excision with skin grafting or tangential (partial thickness) excision allowing the skin to heal without grafting. Some surgeons prefer laser excision citing less bleeding among other reasons. Having seen & tried various modalities I think tangential excision with a scalpel under local anesthesia is best. The nature of laser excision makes this more difficult with laser which works from the surface downward rather than tangentially. The nose heals within a week or 2 as the surface is repopulated by cells from the depths of all those pits. After it heals over the nose will be red for some months. This redness resolves on its own but its resolution can be quickened with the use of a flashlamp laser or topical medications or covered in the interim with makeup. Since the disease is not curable control in the early stages or after surgical excision and healing is of paramount importance to prevent recurrence. This involves continued use of oral tetracycline antibiotics at least a few times a week or topical application of metrogel antibiotics and meticulous skin cleansing. This prevents recurrence but is of no use in treating or decreasing the size of a rhinophyma. Avoidance of spicy foods, caffeine & alcohol also may help. |
