Abstract:
Autoimmune progesterorie dermatitis describes an eruption which is influenced by the hormonal changes of the menstrual cycle. Recurrent premenstrual eruptions occur which correspond to the postovulation rise in serum prrigesterone. A 32-year-old women feveloped cyclic hives premenstrually and followed by spontaneous regression. Intradermal skin testing with crystal progesterone produced a generalized urticarial response after eight hours. The patient was treated with systemic corticostirod and antihistamine.
