You mean Sarna over the counter lotion. It helps.
I've had Grovers for three years and its not seasonal. I benefit from cortisone cream and Light Therapy. I'm told it will go away when its reaady to.

Hello @zeke1,
Welcome to Connect.
I found this Mayo Clinic article which you may wish to view: Treatment for Grover’s Disease Geared Toward Relieving Itching and Rash: http://mayocl.in/2s9qHo2
I’m also tagging @shirlwpb @cindylou on this message as they have asked questions about Grover’s in the past.
@zeke1, have you discussed trying light therapy (phototherapy) with your doctor?
Hello @kanaazpereira,
Thank you for the article, yes, I've seen it. I will ask my doctor about light therapy.
My Grovers was very itchy for about 2 years then it subsided. Now I'm mildly itchy. Ask your doctor about light therapy. For me after a couple of months of 3 times a week treatment it helped significantly.
Did blue light therapy help at all? I’m sooo tired of nothing helping

Two months ago I too was diagnosed with Grover's Disease. It is VERY itchy. Is your Grover's very itchy? It's so itchy, and it's worst in the evening, so I can't help but think it could be scabies. However, two biopsies have come back negative for scabies and "consistent with Grover's disease". A 20 day course of prednisone did relieve the itch quite a bit and the rash got better and almost went away. But it came back once I was off prednisone. I am on a topical steroid that helps with the itch for a while, then it comes roaring back. What to do?!?!
