Rhinotillexomania Dhatchayani M. Lecturer, Sree Balaji College of Nursing, Chrompet, Chennai, (Bharath Institute of Higher Education and Research) Online Published on 27 October, 2023. Abstract Compulsive nose picking (rhinotillexomania) is a commonly known condition to general practitioners and paediatricians and is often advised against. Physical examinations showed an enlarged nasal turbinate unilaterally with an otherwise normal nasal architecture. Further imaging and investigations showed no abnormalities or evidence of greater pathology. It was hypothesized that the patient's rhinotillexomania induced repetitive inflammation and subsequent hyperplasia of the nasal tissue, narrowing the circumference of an external nare. This case highlights the risks of a common but potentially dangerous habit along with its management.
