Hello,
Thanks for the query.
This can be a condition called as autoimmune progesterone dermatitis.
to rule out you need to get a patch test with progesterone done.
The second possibility is shingles.
as ovulation is a stress to body, recurrent shingles can occur.
a photograph would have helped in diagnosis.

Let me know if you have any other doubt.
