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

I’m sorry you’re having such a rough time. I understand what you’re going through. I was actually having suicidal thoughts the first few months. It will get better. You will find something that your body will respond to. Cilantro, chlorella, ice packs, sarna and soaking in the pool were the best natural treatments for me. Clobetasol liquid and a round of steroids when things were unbearable. I just spoke with a woman on Facebook that said hers went away after she stopped eating peanut butter and McDonald’s fries! It’s literally the strangest and brutal skin disease I have ever heard of. No rhyme or reason on what can cause or cure it! By the way my girlie parts we’re affected too!

About the p-nut butter. Peanuts aren't allowed on any anti-inflammation diet. This is a ground nut that contains mold. Mold leads to yeast issues and yeast raised inflammation for all forms of eczema. I am sure McDonald's doesn't use p-nut oil because of this common allergy, but they may use soybean oil. Soy in any form is another food not allowed on anti-inflammation diets, it also can feed the yeast. One can't help but wonder if the woman posting on Facebook about her remission had results based on stopping certain foods or if she was at the end of her breakout period.
Not a good sign for me with GD, my lower back torso is starting to itch again. Still nothing visible other than the few scabs from last March that simply won't leave. I am making it a point to wear loose dresses as contact clothing doesn't feel good. The rest of my torso is just fine. I have been abusive, working in 90 degree weather, almost got heat stroke the other day. Yet, big cool down today and back outside.

Soaking in the pool? I have a pool, but haven’t been in it since early July, when it was only on my sides. I was afraid it would make things worse. I will have my little granddaughter this weekend, maybe I’ll get in it!! I have read about bleach baths, but scared to try that😳
I hope I can find something that works for me, because it is so hard going to work everyday. I have an hour commute to work each way, and I live in south ga. Half way through the day, I am extra miserable. I keep reminding myself that things could be much worse...
I have clobetasol liquid, maybe I’ll try that on my skin. It got rid of what was on my scalp. I don’t like the greasy stuff.
Thanks for your encouragement 😊
