ABSTRACT

A bibliographical revision about the rosacea was made, as it is a quite frequent chronic skin disease, but easily misdiagnosed. It is presented a case of late diagnosis of rosacea that had treatment with clobetasol cream, which favored its worsening. Several precipitating factors of this illness are described, being the topical use of corticoids one of them. It is follow the objective of demonstrating how harmful the use of potent corticoids on the face is, and the importance of getting a definite diagnosis before using them.
