“…Eight case reports and two case series (n = 26; age range: 21–47 years) were found. Clinically, AIED is similar to AIPD with pruritus (n = 10) or urticaria (n = 9) as the most common presenting cutaneous manifestations (Table 1; Bourgeault et al, 2017, Elcin et al, 2017, Kim et al, 1997, Kumar and Georgouras, 1999, Leylek et al, 1997, Murano and Koyano, 2003, Perdue et al, 2014, Shelley et al, 1995, Yoon et al, 2005, Yotsumoto et al, 2003). Along with AIPD, the major diagnostic clue for AIED is premenstrual worsening of skin lesions.…”

BackgroundSex hormones are important in female sexual physiology, growth, and homeostasis. Through skin receptors, sex hormones contribute to the dermatologic pathology known as catamenial dermatoses.ObjectiveThis study aims to summarize the literature on catamenial dermatoses and menses-induced exacerbations of chronic dermatoses.MethodsThis systematic review used the PRISMA method. PubMed was searched using the terms “menses” and “skin” in July 2018, and an assessment was conducted of the relevant literature on skin diseases related to non-pathologic menstruation, such as polycystic ovarian syndrome. Pathology associated with androgenetic acne was excluded from the study.ResultsA total of 102 studies with 1269 female patients were included. The most commonly reported primary catamenial dermatoses were autoimmune progesterone dermatitis and autoimmune estrogen dermatitis. The most commonly reported chronic skin disorders exacerbated by menses were psoriasis, Behcet’s disease, and eczematous dermatoses.ConclusionPhysicians should be aware of the nature of catamenial dermatoses and their presentation with normal sexual physiology. Patients with chronic dermatoses should be appropriately counseled on menstruation-related exacerbations. Further research needs to be conducted to determine the interplay between immune regulation and sex hormones in catamenial dermatoses and to elucidate effective therapies.

“…There has been a single case report where the condition was successfully treated with the continuous progesterone contraception pill [10]. Moreover GnRH analogues have been used in the past with good response [11]. The side effects from their prolonged use and cost implications limit their long-term efficacy.…”

“…Their patients had positive intradermal skin tests to oestrogen and responded to tamoxifen therapy. Since the original description, there have been a few reports of the condition with varied treatment approaches, including leuprolide acetate, 2 progestin-only pill, 3 and bilateral oophorectomy and hysterectomy. 4 We describe a patient with oestrogen dermatitis who presented with mild inguinal eczema.…”
