Treatment of Rhinophyma

Question in Detail

I AM HAVING ACNE ON MY NOSE MOSTLY. I CONNECTED TO MY NEAREST SKIN DOCTOR THEY SAID THAT I AM HAVING RHINOPHYMA. EVEN MY NOSE IS BIG AND RED. THEY OFFERED ME ISOTRETINOIN 20MG FROM NOVEMBER 2021 AND CONTINUED TO MARCH 2022. IT HELPS ME TO CONTROL ACNE AND SLIGHT REDUCTION IN NOSE SIZE ALSO BUT AFTER TEST OF MY BLOOD , REPORT IS NOT NORMAL. MY SGPT AND SGOT INCREASES AND LIPID PROFILE ALSO , MY CHOLESTEROL LEVEL AND TRIGLYCERIDES INCREASES ALSO. AFTER DISCONTINUE OF THIS MEDICINE I SUFFER FROM LOSS OF APPETITE, FATTY LIVER, VERY BAD DIGESTION . I SUFFERED 3 MONTHS FROM HEALTH ISSUES. I DON’T SMOKE AND DRINK. I DO NOT WANT TO TAKE ANY ORAL TREATMENT ALSO.

ON NOSE I AM USING TRETINOIN GEL USP 0.04% DAILY , DERVIA CMS AND GLYCONEM 6 FOR AN ALTERNATE DAYS. I DID NOT SEE MUCH CHANGES BY APPLYING THESE GELS. IS THERE ANY ALTERNATE SOLUTION AVAILABLE?

This is sebaceous gland hyperplasia . Which means oil glands are enlarges and blocked .two session of co2 laser would reduce them by 80 percent .
