Rhinophyma: It is a chronic acneform disorder of the facial pilosebaceous glands with an increased reactivity of capillaries to heat, causing flushing and eventually telangiectasia. Rhinophyma is an enlarged nose associated with rosacea in men. It is much rarer in women.

Rosacea: This really seems like it is rosacea, and may benefit from more aggressive treatment. Ask your dermatologist about lasers or other treatments available.
