These tablets, commonly used for nutritional supplementation to prevent anemia, contain a variety of vitamins, minerals, and trace elements. Despite their widespread use, reports of such supplements causing rosacea recurrence are rare. In this case, the patient experienced a recurrence of facial redness, stinging, and burning after taking the tablets on two separate occasions. Skin dermatoscopy, VISIA imaging, Clinician’s Erythema Assessment (CEA), Investigator’s Global Assessment (IGA), and Visual Analogue Scale (VAS) all confirmed the recurrence of rosacea. Given her intention to conceive, symptomatic treatment with emollient and reparative dressings was administered. The patient’s symptoms gradually resolved after discontinuing the medication, with no recurrence observed during follow-up visits. Women with a history of rosacea should avoid these tablets during preconception, pregnancy, and lactation to prevent recurrence and should choose supplements carefully to minimize the risk of rosacea flare-ups.Keywords: compound vitamin tablets, rosacea, drug adverse reaction, women of childbearing age, immune inflammatory dermatosis |
