Catamenial Dermatoses: Rarity Revisited

Mohammad Abid Keen, Swati Watwani

Cyclic premenstrual physiological changes in healthy skin and various dermatoses represent common ailments reflecting the direct or indirect response of skin to fluctuations in circulating sex steroid hormones. They occur in a variety of clinical presentations, including urticaria, eczema, fixed drug eruptions, erythema multiforme and anaphylaxis. Autoimmune progesterone dermatitis is the most common, and is caused by an autoimmune response to endogenous progesterone in women of reproductive age.
