Progesterone Hypersensitivity Induced by Exogenous Progesterone Exposure
Cureus, 2023 Progesterone hypersensitivity (PH) is a rare hypersensitivity reaction to either endogenous or exogenous progesterone. There are around 200 reported cases of progesterone hypersensitivity in the medical literature. We present the case of a 31-year-old female who presented with cyclical urticaria and angioedema after exogenous progesterone exposure. Her
