Autoimmune progesterone dermatitis(APD) is a rare cyclic premenstrual reaction to progesterone produced during theluteal phase of menstrual cycle. The clinical symptoms are confused with other forms of dermatosis such as erythema multiforme, eczema, fixed drug eruption, urticaria, angioedema and so on. We experienced 3 cases of APD. All patients had recurrent historys of monthly skin eruptions in common. Skin lesions normally began a few days before menstruation and resolved a few days afterward. They were confirmed with autoimmune progesterone dermatitis by progesterone intradermal test. 3 patients had different clinical findings such as erythema annulare centrifugum, urticaria, contact dermatitis and rosacea. Because patients presented with variable clinical manifestrations, they could be easily misdiagnosed. The patients were treated with oral contraceptive, antihistamine and steroid which were used for symptom control. Herein, we propose the dermatologists should consider APD in the cases of recurrent cyclic skin eruptions of female patients. And if suspicious, thorough history taking including menstrual cycle and intradermal progesterone test are needed.
