Abstract :
A 45-year-old female patient presented to our clinic with the complaint of incrustation in the nose dorsum that had lasted for 2 years. The lesions started as small-diameter papules, developed over time and became scabbed. The patient had received no previous treatment and was otherwise healthy. Dermatological examination revealed yellow-coloured crusted areas on the erythematous area, with indefinite edgescompletely covering the nose dorsum and spreading from the vibrissae to the cheeks (Figure 1).
