What causes a red nose during pregnancy?

If your nose gets red during pregnancy, it's probably a symptom caused by premature ejaculation. Rosacea requires timely treatment and care. If the treatment is not timely and the care is not adequate, the condition will worsen, making later treatment more difficult. Rosacea actually has many symptoms. Here are some common symptoms of rosacea!

The disease is prone to occur in the middle part of the face, mainly on the tip of the nose and the wings of the nose, followed by the cheeks, chin, and forehead. It is often distributed symmetrically and is more common in middle-aged people, especially women. Patients often have seborrhea, and their faces look like they are covered with fat. Skin lesions manifest as erythema, telangiectasia, and inflamed follicular papules and pustules. The disease progresses slowly and can be divided into three stages without clear boundaries. It is divided into 3 stages: erythema stage, papule stage, and hypertrophic stage.

1. Erythema and capillary dilation stage

Erythema appears in the middle of the face, especially the nose, cheeks, between the eyebrows and chin, and is symmetrically distributed. The erythema is temporary at first. The face becomes flushed and congested, and there is a sense of burning sensation when eating spicy food or hot drinks, when the ambient temperature rises, or when emotional impulses occur. After repeated attacks, superficial dendritic capillary dilation occurs on the nose wings, nose tip and cheeks, and localized persistent redness occurs, often accompanied by enlarged nasal hair follicles and sebum secretion.

2. Papular stage

On the basis of erythema and capillary dilation, acne-like follicular papules and pustules appear repeatedly. When the lesions are deep and large, they form boils, cysts, and deep inflammatory nodules. The openings of the hair follicles on the nose and cheeks may enlarge, and may come and go over the course of several years, sometimes mild and sometimes severe. In middle-aged women, the rash often worsens before menstruation.

3. Hypertrophy stage

Also known as the rhinoplasty stage. It is only seen in a small number of patients, mostly in men over 40 years old due to long-term congestion, repeated infections, hyperplasia of nasal connective tissue, abnormal enlargement of sebaceous glands, hypertrophy of the nose tip, and dark red or purple-red color. There are enlarged nodules on the nose, which are uneven on the surface and form a tumor-like shape called nasal polyps.

In addition to skin manifestations, the eyes are often affected. The clinical manifestations are blepharitis, conjunctivitis, and occasionally keratitis and scleritis. Patients may experience dry eyes, foreign body sensation, tearing, photophobia, blurred vision, etc. There is no parallel relationship between the symptoms of eye involvement and the severity of rosacea symptoms.
