Background/objective: Autoimmune progesterone dermatitis (APD) is a rare autoimmune hypersensitivity reaction that occurs cyclically at the peak of endogenous progesterone production during the menstrual cycle in women. No study characterizing APD in the adolescent population is found; it appears likely to be underdiagnosed and undertreated.
Methods: A retrospective, single-center, review of all adolescent and pediatric patients (<20 years old at onset) with documented diagnosis of APD.

Background: Livedoid vasculopathy is a recurrent thrombo-occlusive vasculopathy of cutaneous blood vessels and its standard or first-line therapy is still controversial. Besides hypercoagulability, inflammatory factors may also play a secondary role in the pathogenesis of this disease. Monotherapy of thrombolytics cannot achieve satisfactory results because of concomitant inflammation.

Autoimmune progesterone dermatitis (APD) is a rare cutaneous disorder with cyclic skin eruptions during the luteal phase of the menstrual cycle. Patients can present with various clinical manifestations, including urticaria and angioedema, erythema multiforme, eczema, fixed drug eruption and centrifugal erythema annulare. In our case, however, the patient's skin lesions mimic necrotic migratory erythema (NME) which is most commonly associated with glucagonoma and rarely with liver disease, inflammatory bowel disease, malnutrition and other tumors.

Autoimmune progesterone dermatitis (APD) is rare autoimmune response to endogenous progesterone or to earlier exposure to exogenous progesterone (1). Skin lesions typically occur due to increases in progesterone during the luteal phase of the menstrual cycle (2). A-31-year-old mother of two children presented to our Department with a 5-year history of pruritic and painful erythematosus macules, papules, and patches on her neck, pectoral region, and face, which appeared 2-3 days before the onset of menses and gradually resolved 7-10 days later (Figure 1).
