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

Full disclosure. I am now experiencing a different kind of rash. Not the same itchy painful bumps as my Grover's. It started on Monday. I thought it was because I went off smoothies for a couple days. But not sure it's the Grover's. This rash seems to migrate and not leave any bumps behind. It itches but not like before, and it's more of a patchy rash. It started on my arms and sides. Then migrated to my legs, then my neck, then back to my arms the next day. Super weird and not the same as before where it would leave the papules behind and not the nagging itch as before. NOTHING new or different in my diet or environment so I'm not sure where it's coming from. I went to derm today to talk about it and he agreed it did not present like Grover's and said I should get blood work done and put me back on steroids...the saga continues. I'll keep you posted.

Any new products for hair or skin, including soap? How about pollen? Perfume? Just trying to help.

So sorry you are going though this. You may have developed another form of eczema. I started with Allergic Contact Dermatitis, ACD and then a decade later got GD. Have you had the 5 Day Extended Patch Test for ACD? Goggle this exact test for ACD. It tested me for about 78 chemical and natural elements that are common allergens, like latex for metals for example. I am not allergic to those but to 5 others and I must never come in contact with them again. Arm yourself with information. Rashes can have specific symptoms and appearance.
Go to dermnetnz.org and study the various types of eczema. Their photos are helpful. If you have one form of eczema you are likely to get others.
Also I wonder about overdosing on the vitamins in cilantro. Has anyone studied the vitamins and minerals it contains. For example my sister tested too high in her blood for vitamin D. She took calcium with D, and a multivitamin with vitamin D and the doc made her back off stating too much caused side effects. Yet no one on the earthclinic site mentioned getting too many vitamins.
