Objective: Acquired reactive perforating collagenosis is an uncommon skin disease that belongs to a group of dermatologic disorders characterized by transepidermal elimination of dermal material. It is highly associated with systemic disease, primarily diabetes mellitus and dialysis-dependent chronic renal failure.
Methods: A 70-year-old female with 20 years of poorly controlled type 2 diabetes mellitus presented with a 6-month history of multiple pruritic erythematous papules and nodules with central hyperkeratosis, involving her right dorsal arm.
Background: Rhinophyma is the overgrowth of sebaceous glands in nasal tissue and its etiology unclear. Without treatment, rhinophyma can be progressive and cause concern both with respect to function and cosmesis.
Objective: The objective of this work is to describe treatment options for rhinophyma and their respective risks and benefits.
