Journal Title: Türk Dermatoloji Dergisi - Year 2018, Vol 12, Issue 1
Abstract
Autoimmune progesterone dermatitis is a rare hypersensitivity reaction that develops against endogenous progesterone. This condition is characterized by cutaneous and mucocutaneous findings that begins cyclically in the luteal phase of the menstrual cycle and ends after the onset of menstrual bleeding. In this study, we present two cases aged 42 and 49 years who were had urticarial lesions and diagnosed with autoimmune progesterone dermatitis. Both patients had a history of urticaria rash that started one or two weeks before the menstruation and ended with bleeding. Intradermal tests with parenteral progesterone preparation were found to be positive in both patients. As a result of patients’ history, clinical findings and the positive intradermal test with progesterone, autoimmune progesterone dermatitis diagnosed. It has been aim to emphasize the importance of anamnesis in diagnosis of this rarely seen disease.
