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

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?!?!

Hi zeke I,m stan I,ve had GD for 6 yrs for the first couple of yrs I really thought about shooting myself, This crap broke out all over me started on my lower back and then went everywhere.I had a hell of a time trying to sleep. I live by myself so I used a 3in paint roller to put meds on my back, I came across a OTC that really works for me it,s Iverest, the cream not the spray. It,s messy but once it drys you can get to sleep. It cost about 5 bucks a tube I use about a tube a day,If you try it there,s a coupon on the inside of the box for a dollar.
It may not work but it,s worth a try I hope I,ve helped you. Best of luck Stan GDgd
