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

Doctor has now changed course of action once more. After the Calcipotriene Foam exacerbated the problem times 3 (for the second time - like once wasn't enough?), now I'm on Triamcinolone Acetonide again however a weaker dose of 0.025% instead of the usual 0.1% for two weeks. Then alternating ELIDEL (pimecrolimus) Cream 1% 5 days per week and the Triamcinolone 2 days per week from then on. We will then start a course of Isotretinoin after the required two week waiting period. So far the Triamcinolone has relieved the havoc of the Calcipotriene. Wondeing if I may be one out of every 300 people that has a Vitamin D allergy? (Used Walgreen's only coupon for non-generic Elidel $40 instead of Generic one at CVS for $160 - after Dr. re-approval for non-generic at my request. Generic at Walgreen's was $106. Amazing how they try to sell you the generic for much more!)

Just wanted to thank you for suggestion about Elidel at Walgreens as my insurance wants $100. I used the Elidel for perioral eczema break I had 6 months ago(one of my 2 other forms besides GD) and it cleared it up. Right now going on 6 months free of GD and I can't help think my sugar detox I began 3 months ago killing off the yeast in my body is helping lower inflammation. Internal yeast in the gut creates inflammation that can cause eczema breakouts.
