Progesterone Allergy

Answers, by Dr. Joseph Collins

Question:

Is it possible to be allergic to progesterone?

 

Answer:

Yes, women can become allergic to progesterone. Granted, it is rare, but does occur often enough to be mentioned in the literature quite a few times.

 

Type the words "Autoimmune progesterone dermatitis" into PubMed. You will get 43 references between 1967 and 1999.

 

Your best bet on finding a physician who is experienced in treating progesterone allergies and autoimmune progesterone dermatitis is to contact the following organization and request a referral in your area:
