Rhinophyma is a condition causing development of a large, bulbous nose associated with granulomatous infiltration, commonly due to untreated rosacea.[1] The condition is most common in older white males.[2]
Colloquial terms for the rhinophyma include "whiskey nose", "gin blossom", "toros nose", and "potato nose".[2]
