Nasopharyma is a progressive deformity of the nose that becomes red and voluminous. Mainly due to an enlargement of the skin tissue and sebaceous glands of the nose, this pathology most often affects men between the ages of 30 and 50. Indeed, the development of the sebaceous glands and the thickening of the skin are accompanied by a significant proliferation of blood capillaries, causing swelling of the nose. People with fair complexions, skin that reddens easily, and are prone to rosaceous acne are most at risk.
Symptoms of rhinophyma
In the first stage, rhinophyma manifests itself by the appearance of erythema on the face, mainly on the area surrounding the nose. The nose reddens more easily following flushes due to temperature changes or emotion. The skin becomes dry and burns are felt.
In the second stage of the disease, flushing becomes frequent, especially after meals, and the small blood vessels in the nose and the papules can be distinguished. Pustules can even be observed on the nose. The eyes become red, dry, and irritated.
In an advanced stage, the nose becomes covered with nodules, swells and becomes red. The patient can then be said to have rhinophyma.
Recommended homeopathic treatments
If the pathology is of emotional origin, it is indicated to take Pulsatilla 4 to 9 CH. This remedy acts mainly against the dilation of blood vessels, in the same way as Arnica montana 4 to 5 CH. Lachesis 5 to 9 CH is also suitable for the treatment of the disease.
In women, if rhinophyma occurs mainly during menstruation, it is recommended to take Eugenia jambosa 4 to 5 CH. Otherwise, Sanguinaria 4 to 7 CH and Agaricus 4 to 5 CH are equally effective in relieving symptoms and counteracting the disease.
When to consult a doctor
If despite the administration of homeopathic remedies, the symptoms of the pathology persist without any improvement, it is necessary to consult a doctor. In addition, if it turns out that the rhinophyma is of psychological origin, a specialized consultation will be necessary. In addition, you should not wait for the disease to worsen to make a medical consultation. Also, people with possible traffic problems should do so without delay.
