Abstract
Rhinophyma usually occurs on a background of rosacea due to a combination of fibrosis, sebaceous hyperplasia and lymphoedema on the nose(1) . The distortion, functional impairment and disfigurement(2) can cause much social anxiety for patients, motivating self-directed research. With internet search engines commonly being used by health consumers to search for information online(1) there is much concern regarding its quality and readability (the ease at which a text can be understood)(1) . We aim to objectively review the most commonly listed information websites regarding rhinophyma available to patients and the general public. This article is protected by copyright.
