Symptoms

Symptoms begin with an itching/tingling sensation in the nose, which will produce an oily film, followed by a hardening, swelling, blistering, & discoloration of the infected skin tissue. The infection will usually last for several days & is likely to leave minimal scarring & discoloration. Pores around the area are usually larger than in a non-infected individual both before & after the symptoms occur. The reaction can be brought on by certain foods/substances or through irratation to the nose.

It is most common in older white men but can be found in all all races & both genders. Here's some exaggerated pictures of what it can become. http://www.dermnet.com/thumbnailindex.cfm?moduleID=1&moduleGroupID=21&groupIndex=1

Link to working at sea

I work at sea and I've noticed tons of ex seaman with massive noses. All seem to have it a little bit but some more than others. It can't be a coincidence yet I can find no information on a link.

This really needs to be investigated. I want to figure this out as I've been working at sea for 5 years and mine is beginning to grow (oh crap!)! — Preceding unsigned comment added by Jago25 98 (talk • contribs) 09:44, 17 September 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Gin Blossoms?

The Gin Blossoms article directed me here, yet oddly enough, there is no mention of the term in this article. Is this really such an archaic (albeit admittedly inaccurate) phrase? 160.111.254.17 (talk) 16:13, 31 January 2017 (UTC)[reply]
