What can your nose tell you about your health?

The following is translated from the original:

Due to a quirk called unconscious selective attention, your brain has learned to ignore your nose. The nose is a prominent feature close to the eyes that may interfere with our vision, but the nervous system cleverly filters it out.

However, you can choose to look for your nose. Whether you close one eye or look left, right or down, it will suddenly appear.

But despite your brain’s efforts to prevent your nose from interfering with your vision, your nose cannot be ignored. Like many other parts of the body, inspecting the nose can help diagnose external skin conditions and internal diseases.

Acne acne

Although there are many forms of acne, acne vulgaris is the most common and often affects the nose.

This skin disease is caused by a tiny Fanqin obstruction in the skin that secretes protective oils, leading to open and closed acne. Open acne (commonly known as blackheads) form dark blockages, while closed acne is white-headed acne that forms when the pores are completely blocked. Blocked pores can also develop into large lumps and lumps, leading to infection, inflammation, pus, and even leaving scars on the skin.

Rosacea has different appearances. This is an inflammatory skin disease that causes red spots on the nose and cheeks or redness of the skin. Acne rosacea is currently incurable, but it can be controlled and usually requires long-term treatment. People with acne rugosa may often develop acne-like rashes, pimples and pustules, as well as distinct thin red or purple lines of blood vessels on the nose and cheeks.

In some cases, acne rugosa can cause nose skin to grow and thicken. This condition, known as rhinoids, can cause profound changes in the patient’s appearance and severely affect the patient’s self-esteem, like other visible skin diseases.

Both acne vulgaris and acne rosacea are associated with various risk factors and health conditions, although some links are stronger than others. In the case of red spot acne, the list includes high blood pressure and cholesterol, diabetes and rheumatoid arthritis.

Wolf’s nose

tuberous multiple sclerosis is an inflammatory disease that can affect any tissue in the body, but mainly the lungs and lymph glands. This condition can produce a blue or purple rash, especially on the limbs of the body where the skin is usually cold. This includes ears, fingers and toes, and of course the nose. When sarcoidosis affects the nose, it is called frostbite lupus, although the name is misused because the condition is different from the autoimmune disease called lupus.

Conventional lupus is a completely different disease in which the body attacks its own tissue. Its name comes from the Latin word for “wolf”, which dates back to the Middle Ages, when the associated rash was said to be similar to that of a wolf bite.

When lupus (rather than sarcoidosis) affects the skin, a butterfly-shaped rash or cheekbone rash develops that fan out across the cheeks and bridge of the bridge. This rash looks very similar to acne rugosa.

In fact, lupus is known as a “great copycat” because it has similar symptoms to many different diseases.

trigeminal neurotrophic syndrome

Trigeminal neurotrophic syndrome is a rare disease caused by damage to the trigeminal nerve, which controls chewing but also gives sensations to the face. Feeling is affected when the smaller nerve branches that supply the skin area around the nostrils are damaged. Patients may notice that the skin becomes insensitive or numb, or the skin stings like a needle stick, creating an urge to scratch or scratch. Repeated skin injuries can cause ulcers around the nostrils.

This situation is different from skin picking disorders (or dermatophobia), when psychological coercion drives people to want to pick skin.

So close one eye every now and then to admire your speaker, or better yet take a good look at it in the mirror. It deserves more recognition than the blind spots your brain allows.
