description Acne fulminans (AF) is a rare form of acne vulgaris. The diagnosis can be mistaken for other skin infections and delay treatment, placing patients at risk for scarring and psychological distress. This case report presents a patient previously treated for COVID-19 and subsequent pneumonia. COVID-19 restrictions in the clinic setting, including mask-wearing and isolation protocols, accounted for the suboptimal assessment of the patient's skin, which ultimately prolonged the diagnosis. This case report reviews AF from a primary care perspective and highlights clinical manifestations, physical examination findings, and management of AF.
