Abstract

Synthetic progesterones have been used to treat menstrual disorders and to prevent habitual or threatened abortion. Recently, they are increasingly used as a part of assisted reproductive technique(ART) for the infertility related to the luteal insufficiency. Cutaneous reactions related to progesterone are rare and only isolated cases of autoimmune progesterone dermatitis have been described. We report, here in, a case of drug-induced progesterone dermatitis which was proved by positive skin test to intradermal progesterone.
