Lupus pernio?: Sarcoidosis, lyme disease, lupus erythematosus and other autoimmune or infectious disorders can present with painless facial/nasal erythema/swelling during pregnancy. Seek care with a maternal-fetal medicine specialist asap to determine if this is a real threat to your health or not. Best of luck.
