Hi,
Thanks for writing to us.
Transverse nasal crease is usually seen in people who suffer from allergic rhinitis/ frequent cold or allergies. It occurs due to frequent lifting of nose to prevent sneeze or runny nose also known as allergic salute. One might try using hydroquinone, kojic acid or spot peels to see if it responds to treatment or not. Some improvement might be seen, however complete resolution is not possible.
Hope this helped.
Take care
