If you put “progesterone” and “allergy” into pubmed.gov (“Free service” from our NIH you should all use regularly, but unfortunately, we still can’t believe all we read even in here, keep that in mind), 653 results come up.

Why? Progesterone, although a critical hormone for birth, brain, breast, prostate, mood, myelin sheaths and more, is the potentially most “allergic” or “reactive” hormone in the human body.

There is even a definitive allergic syndrome named: autoimmune progesterone dermatitis.

We are going to discuss the science of this atypical reaction to this critical hormone, why this might be happening. And possible ways to treat it.
