ABSTRACT
Estrogen dermatitis is a rare cutaneous disorder characterized by recurrent cyclic eruptions during the luteal phase of the menstrual cycle. The clinical manifestations include pruritus, urticaria, vesicles, papules and eczematous eruptions. A 22-year-old female patient presented with a skin lesion on the back of 6 years periodic duration. She had been recurrently suffering from pruritic eruptions that appear during the luteal phase of the menstrual cycle and resolve after menses. An intradermal skin test to estrogen showed a positive result, but showed negative results to progesterone. After antiestrogen tamoxifen therapy, the lesions were found to have significantly improved.
