Woman's nose DOUBLES in size due to rare condition
A WOMAN whose nose DOUBLED in size due to rare condition has had laser treatment to burn off the excess skin.
She then underwent a procedure to burn off 3mm of skin from her nose with a laser - and says the treatment has changed her life. I felt like that guy in the documentary Elephant Man. I felt like this growth was just taking over my whole face"At night I started to struggle with breathing and I would put my finger under the tip of my nose just so I could hold my nostril open.
She then approached Dr Daniel Friedmann, of Westlake Dermatology Clinical Research Center in Austin, Texas, who devised a treatment plan that involved resurfacing her skin with a CO2 laser.The condition is mainly seen in those who have rosacea, a rash that can affect the cheeks, forehead and nose. The causes of rhinophyma are not fully understood. Rhinophyma can occur as a more severe stage of rosacea.Although commonly believed to be due to alcohol, there is no link between rhinophyma and excessive drinking.Adrianna had 3mm of skin lasered off the surface of her nose in May 2017, which left it blackened and sore.
Adrianna says the treatment has changed her life and is no longer afraid or embarrassed about her faceSWNS:South West News Service
