A 65-year-old man, farmer by occupation, presented with redness and gradual enlargement of the nose. Examination revealed marked nodular enlargement of the nose and loss of normal nasal contours. Sebaceous material could be expressed from widened pores. The patient was diagnosed as rhinophyma of moderate degree. He was treated with cold knife excision combined with dermabrasion. A literature scan revealed that currently there is no evidence of superiority of much popular laser surgery over conventional cold knife surgery combined with dermabrasion for rhinophyma. Conventional surgery is time-tested, and it does not require expensive equipment or special training.
