What Causes Rhinophyma Rosacea In Spite Of Using Minocycline?

I apparently have rhinophyma rosacea since I m developing a malformed nose. Have been taking minocycline 50 mg twice daily, and the condition is now causing an uneven nose. I saw on internet that CO2 laser treatment has been used successfully. What do you suggest?

HI
Well come to HCM
I really appreciate your concern, reconstruction surgery would be best for this rather than laser treatment, because it is newer one and not much data or case studies available on other hand reconstruction is conventional with high success rate hope this information helps.
I find this answer helpful
