Atrophic Rhinitis

Atrophic rhinitis is Nasal dryness is a condition where the tissue within your nose thins or atrophies. The tissue eventually becomes hard. The nasal cavities that allow air to pass through your nostrils enlarge as a result. Too much dryness in your nasal passages results in the formation of a foul-smelling nasal crust.

This inflammation affects the respiratory system and causes breathing problems. AR affects both nostrils simultaneously and can be bothersome but not life-threatening. There are two types of atropic rhinitis: primary and secondary atropic rhinitis.

Cause:

Secondary atrophic rhinitis can be caused by autoimmune diseases like granulomatosis with polyangiitis, sinus infections, radiation therapy, sarcoidosis, syphili, trauma or injury to your nose, and nasal decongestants.
