The nose is an indicator that can reveal health status. Dr. Dan Baumgart from the University of Bristol in the UK introduced signs of diseases that appear in the nose through the Daily Mail in the UK.

 

◇Red and swollen nose

 

If the nasal tip is round and swollen with redness, it may be a sign of nasal bone disease or an inflammatory skin condition where the skin of the nose thickens. Typically, the skin of the nose can become enlarged and thickened due to injections. An injection refers to a skin condition characterized by abnormal dilation of blood vessels, causing redness, itching, and a burning sensation.

 

In addition to the nose, symptoms such as dry eyes or conjunctival redness may also occur. In severe cases, the skin may become bumpy, accompanied by pus or swelling. The risk increases with obesity, so managing lifestyle habits to reduce weight and visiting a hospital to receive prescriptions such as antibiotics or ointments can help alleviate the symptoms.

◇Possible or brown lesions

 

If a lump or brown lesion appears on the nose, skin cancer may be suspected. About 80% of all skin cancer cases are basal cell carcinoma, most of which are found on the head and neck, with the most common location being the nose.

 

Experts analyze that the nose protrudes more from the face than other areas, making it more exposed to sunlight. Basal cell carcinoma is treated by surgically removing the cancer cells and then reconstructing the affected area.

 

◇ Blue and purple spots

 

If the skin on the ears, cheeks, fingers, and toes turns blue or purple along with systemic inflammatory disease, it may be a sign of sarcoidosis. Sarcoidosis is a systemic inflammatory disease of unknown cause, in which the immune system begins to attack body tissues, leading to reduced blood flow to the skin and the appearance of blue or purple spots. Treatment involves medications, including steroids.

 

◇Loss of sensation

 

If you suffer from neurological diseases, you may lose your sense of smell. The trigeminal nerve controls sensation around the face, nose, and nostrils, as well as chewing strength. When this nerve is damaged, the areas it supplies become paralyzed. Treatment to restore sensation in the damaged nerve area involves medication or electrical nerve stimulation.

 

=================

There is only one area of concern, but these are possible suspicions.

Because of sebum, even when washing your face, the nose...

It's a part that I pay attention to, but

 

It's good to check once when washing your face~
