autoimmune progesterone dermatitis symptoms
Autoimmune progesterone dermatitis: Introduction. Autoimmune progesterone dermatitis: A skin rash that appears to be a result of the body's immune reaction to progesterone. As progesterone production is linked to menstrual cycles, the rash occurs usually in the week before menstruation until a few days after menstruation starts.
Autoimmune progesterone dermatitis is a rare disease caused by an autoimmune response to endogenous progesterone in women during their reproductive years [1]. Skin lesions typically occur due to increases in progesterone during the luteal phase of the menstrual cycle [2].
