EPIDEMIOLOGY AND ETIOLOGY Rhinophyma is a subtype of rosacea characterized by thickened skin and enlargement of sebaceous glands, and there can also be prominent telangiectasias, venulectasias and pores. [dermatologytimes.com]

OBJECTIVE: To analyze epidemiological data of patients with rhinophyma and evaluate the results of various treatments for this disease at the Service of Plastic Surgery of Hospital Agamenon Magalhaes, Recife, PE, Brasil, comparing them with the treatments [semanticscholar.org]

CONCLUSIONS The prognosis of rhinophyma is variable, and patients should be aware of the pathophysiology of the condition and its link to the underlying rosacea. [bjgp.org]

The underlying bony structure is not affected.[2] The exact pathophysiological mechanism underlying the development of rosacea and rhinophyma is unknown, but a combination of neurovascular and immune disturbance is thought to be involved, causing inflammation [en.wikipedia.org]

CONCLUSION: Rhinophyma is a rare condition of uncertain pathophysiology. Management is surgical and, in view of the many techniques and procedures proposed, we advocate the slogan "to each his own technique", until a consensus has been reached. [ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]

This combined treatment modality prevents the recurrence of rhinophyma. It should be considered an appropriate alternative in cases of severe rhinophyma. [ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]

Prevention Just as there is no known cause of the condition, there not a surefire way to prevent it from happening. However, like Rosacea, you can manage it when caught early on, but to fully prevent it is difficult to say. [solomonfacialplastic.com]

The field is wide open for researchers who are interested in developing new modalities for rhinophyma prevention and treatment,” she says. [dermatologytimes.com]
