rhinophyma is ?       (fmge,dnb,neetpg)

a.acne rosacea

b.most common in diabetics

c.most common in alcoholics

d.premalignant condition

answer:a

explanation:

Rhinophyma is a large, bulbous, ruddy nose caused by granulomatous infiltration, commonly due to untreated rosacea.

Alcoholism is mistakenly attributed as a cause of this disease; heavy alcohol consumption does aggravate the condition and consequently it is more noticeable in alcoholic patients.

Rhinophyma is a slowly progressive condition due to hypertrophy of the sebaceous glands of the tip of the nose often seen in cases of long-standing acne rosacea; it is not a neoplasm.
