Rosacea fulminans (RF) is a rare and severe variant of rosacea, characterized by the sudden onset of extensive facial skin lesions. Hormonal changes, particularly during pregnancy have been proposed as potential contributing factors for RF. Management of RF in pregnant patients poses unique challenges, as standard therapeutic options may carry teratogenic risk. To date, reported cases of RF during pregnancy in the medical literature is very limited. We report a case of RF that developed during pregnancy, likely precipitated by hormonal fluctuations. This case underscores the importance of prompt recognition and timely intervention to prevent permanent facial scarring, which may have profound psychological consequences for affected patients.
