The formation of these creases can cause your nasal skin to be extremely irritated and sensitive and can appear in the form of significantly visible lines which would even need plastic surgeries to correct in very extreme cases. Hence, it is important to prevent and treat these creases as soon as possible.

Treatment

-Keep Tissues Handy: Replace rubbing with gentle wiping using soft tissues.

-Topical Creams: Retinoids or lightening agents can fade creases.

-Dermatologist Consult: Consider topical steroids or chemical peels for severe cases.

Remember, understanding the underlying causes empowers better prevention and management.
