[quote=Anonymous]Hi everyone, I have a specific skin-related question that I'd posted in the Health and Medicine forum 3 years ago, and it didn't end up getting any responses. I'm still interested in learning if others can relate, so I'd like to post it here. As a bit of background, I've had 2 miscarriages to date, possibly related to my low progesterone level. For upcoming TTC, I was prescribed a progesterone supplement to use.

The concern I have is that leading up to my period, I will typically get small blister-like "bumps" on my fingers and sometimes my palms. I found out (on a dermatologist visit for another concern) that the condition most likely is [u]autoimmune progesterone dermatitis[/u]. The intensity of the bumps will vary from month to month. Sometimes they don't appear. Fortunately, they subside completely by the time my next period begins (no scarring or anything). Although it's too early to say, because I've yet to TTC again (still waiting for my period after the last loss), I do hope the progesterone supplementation will help me. At the same time, I'm concerned if this autoimmune condition is in fact fighting the progesterone production in my body, resulting in the allergic reaction on my hands (so far), and if it can be a detriment during pregnancy.

Thanks for any input, if anyone can relate.
