I've heard from other people and few online blogs that rhinophyma occurs in alcohol abusers. Is it true? Anyone can confirm it? Anyone familiar with this topic?
Thanks

I am not an expert but I am under the impression that rhinophyma and rosacea can get aggravated by alcohol but its not proved to be the cause.
Agree with Nikki, rhinophyma is a severe variant of rosacea.yes, people with rhinophyma and rosacea gets prominent flushing after alcohol intake, but there are no any clinical studies that are able to confirm the association of alcohol intake as a causative factor for rhinophyma.
Yes I do agree with Nikki, alcohal may be aggrative factor for patients with rosacea estimulating the flushing by dilating the peripheral blood vessels. And though some studies have put forward the role of follicular mite Demodex as well as the microaerophilic Gram negative bacterium H.pyroli as the causative organisms for rosacea the exact cause is unclear.
It is been saying for a long time but there is a no medical proof on it.
