autoimmune progesterone dermatitis, desensitization treatment with autologous progesteroneAbstract
Autoimmune progesterone dermatitis is described as an hypersensitivity reaction to endogenous and/or exogenous progesterone. It affects women of childbearing age, decreasing its frequency during pregnancy. The clinical presentation is heterogeneous and skin lesions develop cyclically, in direct relation with the menstrual cycle. Among described treatments are the inhibition of the ovulation, desensitizing treatment and in refractory cases bilateral oophorectomy with hysterectomy can even be considered.
We present a case of autoimmune dermatitis caused by progesterone that was treated with desensitization with autologous progesterone with a good response.
