Transverse nasal crease
Line between upper 2/3 & lower 1/3 of the human nose / From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The transverse nasal crease or groove is a usually white line between the upper two-thirds and the lower third of the human nose (slightly above the cartilage tip between the bridge and nostrils). It can occur as the result of heredity, accident, or the constant rubbing or wiping of the nose, commonly referred to as the allergic salute.[1][2]
