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

re: the sun.... i have found the time I spend at the beach (2 week family vacation) leads to much less itching as well as less rash. I don't lay out under the sun too much but just being outside getting more UV rays seems to help. Derm said its not much different than going thru the light treatments that seem to work with Grovers a bit.

When I first got GD I tried laying in private area on my deck where I could get sun all over. It hurt, probably because of my torso rash being active and my first breakout of 1 year was the worst. Actually everything hurt, even cool water pressure but any form of heat really hurt. Still I tried for about 15 minutes a day and saw no improvement. Gave up. It may help others and I have heard it often helps with other forms of eczema, maybe it kills bacteria. Since on the cilantro routine I now enjoy a warm shower and getting hot and sweaty doesn't hurt. I'm taking advantage of my new freedom.
