Abstract
Granulosis Rubra Nasi is an uncommon eccrine gland disorder with an autosomal dominant inheritance. It usually occurs over the face particularly
on the tip of the nose and typically is thought to be initiated due to hyperhidrosis which then eventually manifests as diffuse erythema over the nose,
chin, cheeks, and upper lip. Although frequently seen in childhood, it occasionally occurs in adults as well. Here we present a case report on a
22year old female patient who presented with complaints of uncontrolled sweating over the nose. On detailed examination of the nose, erythema
and telangiectasias were noted. Biopsy ndings supported the diagnosis of granulosis rubra nasi as well. This case has been reported due to its rare
occurrence.
