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

I am a 65 male who has had it somewhat mildly for many years. i play competitive hard ball baseball and am a pitcher. the sweating during the season causes flareups. however, workouts during the winter can also do the same. i use go,d bond powder every day and triamcinalone cream when it flares. i would like to learn of potentially more effective treatments that others use. typically its 5 to 10 spots on chest or back during flare ups and very itchy.
thanks.

@pitch25 , I've had these rashes since 2013...they range from severe and just about all over my body, to just spotty at times. Thankfully the widespread happens occasionally, last was 1 1/2 yrs ago. I had to go on hydroxyzine and doxipen. I use and like the same cream you use, triamcinolone. I mostly get pop up rashes on my torso, and neck, and this cream helps after a few consecutive days. I've been prescribed several different topicals, of no real help. My dermatologists from Mayo also suggested after applying this cream to use wet wraps by taking a cotton t-shirt and soaking it in cool water...ring it out well and put it on over the cream. Stay in it about 1 hour. Its soooo soothing, but sounds yucky. I then wear a terry robe so I don't get cold.

Well, I am a male twenty years older and had the problem for more than twenty years. Doctors could only prescribe topical treatments to stop the itching. Have drooping eyelids which dermatologist allowed me to carefully use Witch Hazel as an astringent. From that experience, I decided to try the OTC solution w/14% alcohol on my chest and sides, and after a week=rash gone now for over a month. I shall respond on this site if it returns
