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

Sorry to hear your husband is dealing with this. Interesting about the Vitamins. I was just diagnosed summer 2018. I did have a short lived “remission” but have been dealing with it consistently since. I’m a 46 y/o female, no health conditions, no medications, not over weight, no food allergies... this just came out of no where. I am an RN and have likely been exposed to lots of things - but there doesn’t seem to be any sort of external link. 🙁 I will gladly share any wisdom as I venture down this road. Best wishes!

A link to Grover's. Perhaps it is just genetic like many believe the most common form of eczema is- Atopic. The majority are born with it. These unfortunate eczema sufferers have to with eczema all their lives. So very difficult.
One theory about GD is that most seem to have spent time outdoors with lots of sun exposure. It's more prevalent in men, especially those that worked outdoors. Most get later it life (though not all) as if it took time for the sun damage to take affect.
Yes I spend lots of time in the sun growing up and living at the beach and still to this day involved with boating and outdoor activities. I can remember every summer our backs would burn, our parents would put white vinegar on to help cool the burn. After several burns and peels we would not long burn, even if swimming in the ocean all day. So in my case that could be a reason. Yet I know others who have spent as much or more time in the sun than me without getting GD, so back to the genetic tendency idea.
