Estrogen dermatitis is a rare type of dermatitis associated with cyclical skin eruptions pre menstrual cycle. We reported a 41 year old Saudi female who had repeated visits to dermatology clinic because of skin eruption pre menstrual cycle. Intradermal estrogen was tested and was Positive. Although this case is rare, it should be considered in differential diagnosis as pre menstrual (cyclical) dermatitis could be associated with estrogen hypersensitivity.
