Transverse nasal creases

One of the classic physical signs of allergic rhinitis, here depicted in a 6-year-old girl.  Brief discussion at the New England Journal of Medicine

  1. Urrrgggggh, know about those all too well. Had someone in college (early '70's) wonder why I had a crease like that. Didn't figure it out until about ten years ago when my allergies really started kicking up. Did you know sagebrush has about two thousand varieties, and they bloom all year? That was the final straw and the start of my life on allergy meds to alleviate some of the miserable symptoms. And it just seems to get worse as I age. Mostly environmental ones, with a few dermatic thrown in for fun.
