Adolescent APD is associated with a significant delay in diagnosis. The most common manifestation is urticaria. Exogenous exposure to progestins is uncommon in adolescent APD.

Large, multicenter studies are required to better define, diagnose, and treat this under recognized condition among adolescent patients.
