“…The question of endocrine hypersensitivity has been studied for many years [2,3], and the concept of an autosensitivity to one's own progesterone has been discussed [4], The literature reveals reports on cases with urticaria, erythema multiforme or dyshidrosiform rashes which have been attributed to sensitivity to progesterone [5][6][7][8][9], However, and to the best of our know ledge, the number of these reports does not exceed 20.…”

A patient with a cyclic premenstrual eruption, clearing spontaneously with the menstrual flow, is reported. Hypersensitivity to endogenous progesterone in this case was confirmed by positive intradermal and leukocyte migration inhibition tests. Treatment with conjugated estrogens was followed by remission of symptoms. The importance of awareness to the possibility of progesterone autoimmune mechanisms is emphasized.

“…The use of systemic glucocorticoids, usually in high doses, has been reported to control the cutaneous lesions of APD is some studies, but not in others [3,10,37]. Early reports of APD describe attempts of progesterone desensitization, and some authors even attempted injections derived from the corpus luteum [18,24,38]. However, results were usually temporary, and such methods of treatment have now fallen out of favor.…”

Autoimmune progesterone dermatitis in a patient with endometriosis: case report and review of the literature

Autoimmune progesterone dermatitis (APD) is a condition in which the menstrual cycle is associated with a number of skin findings such as urticaria, eczema, angioedema, and others. In affected women, it occurs 3–10 days prior to the onset of menstrual flow, and resolves 2 days into menses. Women with irregular menses may not have this clear correlation, and therefore may be missed. We present a case of APD in a woman with irregular menses and urticaria/angioedema for over 20 years, who had not been diagnosed or correctly treated due to the variable timing of skin manifestations and menses. In addition, we review the medical literature in regards to clinical features, pathogenesis, diagnosis, and treatment options.
