Red Nose!

[hayayah]

Hello!

My nose is ALWAYS red. Some days worse than others but it's always red. There are also very thin, subtle red veins on the bridge of my nose (I have a "hawk" nose), again, some days worse than others.

I also have a lot of allergy problems. Went through a period of time when I had three sinus infections, one after another. I was diagnosed with allergy induced asthma as well although I don't take the montelukast I was prescribed.

Is it possible that my nose shape has anything to do with this? Or is the redness a skin problem and the allergies environmental?

Honestly, the redness bothers me more than the annoying breathing problems.

I also have autoimmune thyroiditis, unsure if that is related to redness.

I absolutely believe that your nose is red because of chronic allergies. It’s a common symptom of allergies. Not all people are affected like this. But, unfortunately I do believe that you’re are one of the people who is.

Good luck!

Excerpt from the article Psoriasis, rosacea and hypothyroidism–did you know there’s a connection?...

I personally had rosacea on my nose for years—my romantic “clown nose”.  But just like the mother’s son and daughter with psoriasis, my rosacea eventually went away, as well, after I had started on desiccated thyroid and raised it high enough to remove my hypo symptoms.
