Grover's Disease: What works to help find relief?

Hi @43219876x, welcome to Connect! Grover's disease or Transient Acantholytic Dermatosis, is a rare condition but I found that some standard therapies include mild topical steroids, antihistamines, and some oral drugs. You can read more about this here: http://rarediseases.org/rare-diseases/grovers-disease/
I'm also tagging @jbmakos who has reached out about Grover's in the past; I hope that he will share his experience with you. Have you tried any oral treatments yet?

Dear Ali,
You seem to be well connected here at this site. May I reach out yo you about TAD to you since I can't find the link to upload an original thread. Where can I start a new thread for discussion here? Thank you.
Charles.
What is the name of the ointment?
I use triamcinolone and ketoconazole with good success to minimize itching and somewhat clear up the skin. Not a cure but it helps.

Hello - I have been on this site many times discussing my Lymphomatoid Papulosis. At my last Derm visit, I showed the derm the bumpy rash that was in between and under my breasts. I told her it was my LyP. She said "Oh, that's just Grover's disease". I'm like what the heck! 2 rare skin diseases! My LyP has been (fingers crossed) in remission for a bit. The Grover's disease isn't as irritating to me as some other people have. I currently am not putting anything on it. I use Clobetasol for my Lymphomatoid Papulosis. Hopefully, the Grover's will stay under control enough that I am not constantly itchy!
