Rhinophyma of the nose and ear. Side view of the bulbous red nose and earlobe of a 57-year-old man with a severe case of the rare condition rhinophyma. More common in older men, this severe form of the skin disorder rosacea leads to tissue of the nose thickening, small blood vessels enlarge, and overactive sebaceous glands make the nose excessively oily. It is rare for it to affect the ear as well.
