Provided are methods and kits for administering progestogen as a glucocorticoid sensitizer to restore corticosteroid sensitivity or reverse the glucocorticoid insensitivity or enhance glucocorticoid sensitivity, in order to treat one or more glucocorticoid insensitivity related diseases or conditions. For example, these include methods for reversing the glucocorticoid insensitivity in a subject having no history of menstrual cycle-related exacerbation or allergy to self-hormones, particularly progesterone, such as premenstrual or perimenstrual deterioration in the symptoms, e.g., premenstrual worsening of atopic dermatitis or premenstrual exacerbations of asthma, and exhibiting relatively or totally refractory responses to glucocorticoid therapy, e.g., glucocorticoid resistance. The methods and kits provide for the administration of a sex hormone to the subject who is corticosteroid dependent or corticoid resistant or unresponsive or intolerant to corticosteroids.
