Have you ever noticed your face flushing, breaking out in hives, or turning red right before your period? It might not just be stress or anxiety — your hormones could be involved.

In this video, I’m sharing what I recently learned about Autoimmune Progesterone Dermatitis (APD) — a rare but fascinating condition where the body becomes sensitive to its own hormone, progesterone. We’ll explore what it is, why it happens, and how it connects to symptoms like blushing, redness, and hives.

You’ll learn:

What progesterone dermatitis actually is

How hormones can trigger redness, hives, or flushing

Why it might flare before your period

What to track and discuss with your doctor

Possible treatment options and next steps

If you’ve ever wondered why your skin reacts in cycles or why your redness feels out of your control, this video will give you a new perspective to explore with your healthcare provider.

Have you noticed your skin flares up at the same time every month? Share your experience in the comments — your story might help someone else feel less alone.
