I keep seeing random comments saying hydrocortisone (1% or 2.5%) can “shrink” the nose by thinning the skin. Before I ruin my face like a clown, I want to know if there’s any reality to this or if it’s just another delusional hack people push.
Hypothetically, if someone put hydrocortisone on their nose:
How long until you’d see changes (if any)?
Does it actually decrease the appearance of nose size or is it literally just skin damage?
When do the side effects start kicking in (days/weeks)?
What’s the full list of ways this could backfire and actually lower PSL instead of helping?
From what I’ve heard, the “results” are basically just L’s:
Skin thinning that makes the nose look older/weaker
Red veins showing through the skin
Shiny, fragile, unhealthy-looking texture
Chronic redness / steroid rosacea
Rebound swelling that might make the nose look bigger
Patchy pigmentation
Overall worse aging long-term
Basically sounds like a way to speedrun becoming uglier instead of fixing anything, but I want real info before I dismiss it.
Anyone here actually know dermatology or has firsthand experience? I’d rather ask before I accidentally self-sabotage like a retard.
