Rhinophyma is a disfiguring disorder that is characterized by an erythematous, hypertrophied, and inflamed lower two-thirds of the nose. Widely accepted as the severe form of acne rosacea, rhinophyma can result in functional, aesthetic, and psychosocial concerns that require treatment in a cosmetic fashion. Rosacea should be treated in its earliest manifestations to mitigate the progression towards rhinophyma; therefore, early detection and intervention is a crucial part of treatment. Little has been written on this subject in people of color. We present the first reported case of rhinophyma in a 62-year-old Fitzpatrick V female patient who was successfully treated with one session of fractional CO2 laser resurfacing. This case highlights the successful use of the fractional CO2 laser to treat rhinophyma in darker skin types (Fitzpatrick IV–VI) and underscores the potential for future use among patients of color.

酒渣鼻鼻赘是一种有损容貌的疾病，其特征为鼻部下三分之二出现红斑、肥大和炎症。通常被认为是酒渣鼻的严重形式，酒渣鼻鼻赘可能导致功能、美学和社会心理问题，需要以美容的方式进行治疗。为了减轻向酒渣鼻鼻赘发展的趋势，应在疾病的早期表现时进行治疗；因此，早期发现和干预是治疗的关键部分。在有色人种中，关于这个主题的文献很少。我们报告了首例 62 岁的 Fitzpatrick V 型女性患者的酒渣鼻鼻赘病例，该患者通过一次分批次二氧化碳激光换肤术成功治疗。该病例突出了分批次二氧化碳激光在治疗深色皮肤类型（Fitzpatrick IV-VI）酒渣鼻鼻赘方面的成功应用，并强调了在有色人种患者中的未来应用潜力。《皮肤病药物杂志》。2021;20(7):772-775. doi:10.36849/JDD.C702.
