Rosacea is a common facial disease. Clinical manifestations range from mild to severe, including several strange forms. These include: ophthalmo rosacca (ocular rosacea); conglobate rosacea; Gram‐negative rosacea; rosacea fulminans, and rosacea fulminans in pregnancy. Treatment is either topical for mild or systemic for severe rosacea. Systemic drugs include tetracycline, isotretinoin, metronidazole, and glucocorticosteroids. The management of severe rosacea will be discussed with typical case presentations.
