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

I am in my 4th year with Grovers. With me, it got worse as I also had skin bleeds easily ( treat spots wit hydrogen peroxide and wash garment/sheets).
I am a lot better now but still itch. But most of the skin bumps are gone. My treatment was/ Triamcinolone cream and Sarna anti itch lotion. But what also helped greatly was and is Light therapy in the Dermatologists office . A full box treatment(long light bulbs).
at 3 days a week maxing at 4 minutes per front and back each. Now I'm once a week at two minutes. But I skip a lot. Its a slow treatment. I still use the cream and Sarna as needed.
Good luck.

Did the light therapy make it worse at first?

I have tried everything that is suggested, even cilantro, except phototherapy and nothing works to even ease the itching. Is the phototherapy covered by
Insurance. Also all of my hair has fallen out. I take Humira and wonder if that affects the Grovers. My condition was diagnosed.
