Rosacea Course Fluctuations during Pregnancy: a Longitudinal Observational Study

Although subjective, case-report level data exists that supports rosacea's improvement during pregnancy, it has never been formally studied. Since there are no comprehensive animal models for rosacea, using normal physiologic changes in pregnancy as a theoretical model may elucidate rosacea's complex pathophysiology.

Eligibility

Exclusion criteria includes: unable to consent, those with significant genetic, immunologic, hormonal, rheumatologic, or dermatologic disease or diagnoses outside of rosacea.
