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

I was about to schedule a Shingles vaccine shot and thought about potential issues with GD. I found some reporting suggesting it would be best to wait until more is known. At 76, I don't want to deal with either. Is there any clarity on this question? Thank you.

I had been dealing withGD for several years. I was in remission and clear at the time I got the Shingrix vaccine. My first experience with shingles started about 3 days after getting the Shingrix vaccine. At first I thought my GD had returned, yet my rash was plaque like and not my typical clusters of tiny papuales. Typical itching of GD and in the same GD area. I went to my dermatologist who told me it Shingles and was definitely tied to the vaccine. He said shingles and GD are closely related. I am sorry I didn't ask for more specific information to could share with others. Dr. Jonathan Bellew, DO Mohave Skin and Cancer Clinics, 928-758-4475 That was a year ago and after I cleared up about 1 1/2 months later I have had neither GD or Shingles, I base my GD being in remission for so long because of cilantro detox. I did not go in for second Shingrix shot.
