title: [Rosacea fulminans in pregnancy].
abstract: We present a 38-year-old woman who suddenly developed erythema with follicular papules and pustules on her face during the second trimester of pregnancy. The diagnosis 'rosacea fulminans' was made. This is an uncommon skin condition that predominantly affects younger women. Treatment with erythromycin was successful.
