A woman experienced cyclical urticarial erythemas linked to her menstrual cycle. This suggests a potential autoimmune response to progesterone, causing skin reactions.

Area of Science:

  • Immunodermatology
  • Reproductive Endocrinology

Background:

  • Cyclical urticaria can significantly impact quality of life.
  • Hormonal fluctuations, particularly progesterone, are implicated in some dermatological conditions.

Observation:

  • A 35-year-old woman presented with recurrent urticarial erythemas on her trunk and extremities over 3 years.
  • Eruptions consistently appeared 3-5 days before menstruation and lasted several days.

Findings:

  • The patient exhibited a positive skin test response to progesterone.
  • Circulating anti-progesterone IgG antibodies were detected in the patient's serum.

Implications:

  • This case suggests a possible autoimmune etiology for progesterone-induced urticaria.

  • Potential autoimmune damage to the ovary, the primary progesterone-producing organ, is hypothesized.
  • Further research is warranted to elucidate the mechanisms of progesterone hypersensitivity.
