Large red bump on nose
Posted , 3 users are following.
Hi all fellow sufferer's, I have experience bouts of unsightly rosacea from time to time, which usually cleared up when taking tetracyclene for a few weeks. However, just before Christmas, a red bump began to appear on the tip of my nose. At first I did not connect it with rosacea, it being so different from anything I had experienced before. My GP (a very experienced doctor by the way)however said, straight away - 'rosacea', and prescribed tetracyclene for four weeks, plus rosex cream twice a day,to be applied to the surface of the skin. I returned to the GP at the end of the 4 week period, at which point my GP said immediately, 'it's got bigger'. and it had, it's about just over half an inch in diameter now, very red and quite raised. I am still hopeful that these treatments will work, although loosing a little confidence, but its the iching which continues through the day and all through the night, last night I had about 2 hours sleep. I just wonder - is there anyone out there that has experienced anything like it? if so, I would like to hear from you, just to know how you got on with it. Many thanks, anybody?

I have had rosacea as an SE to testosterone injections which I've had for around six years! I've taken 1000mg/day oxytetracycline for the Rosacea but I now have Rhinophyma on my nose! I have never suffered itching but now the blood vessels in my nasal cavity burst causing me to feel like I have a permanent cold
& my nose blowing to clear it produces blood on the tissue! I'm 72 yrs old by the way & fear the worst because of it! I find it difficult to cope with the "stuffed up " feeling on a daily basis!
