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

Hello - I have been on this site many times discussing my Lymphomatoid Papulosis. At my last Derm visit, I showed the derm the bumpy rash that was in between and under my breasts. I told her it was my LyP. She said "Oh, that's just Grover's disease". I'm like what the heck! 2 rare skin diseases! My LyP has been (fingers crossed) in remission for a bit. The Grover's disease isn't as irritating to me as some other people have. I currently am not putting anything on it. I use Clobetasol for my Lymphomatoid Papulosis. Hopefully, the Grover's will stay under control enough that I am not constantly itchy!

Welcome and this site may give you relief. Read this discussion from the end of Feb, I believe Feb 27 Kimass1 posted info about Cilantro as an herbal treatment. I have had Grover's for 4 years and others even longer who have benefited from this treatment and none other. It seems to help about 50% of us, including me. Starting this smoothie stopped my recent breakout in it's tracks. Normally a breakout lasts 6 months and then I get a 6 month remission. She references the earthclinic grover's site, go to that site too and study all posts. For some GD is not as severe as others. Your symptoms sound more like sisters, more limited in scope with minor itch and no pain, not as my severe as mine. Hers are not bothersome enough to bother with the daily cilantro smoothie.
You ask why you, but most of us with eczema (GD is a form of eczema) also have other auto-immune diseases and this is common to collect autoimmune diseases. I used to have leukemia. a blood cancer, and on the New Zealand derm site, dermnetnz.org they include lymphoma or other autoimmune disease as a commonality in many sufferers.
