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

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.

Glad that people have started posting again. Just for the record, I have been struggling with something, diagnosed as GD after a biopsy, for a little more than a year. It started with itching in my ears and then spread to my back where it was pretty nasty. Presently the itching on my back is minor. The irritations have been localized on three areas of my torso and have remained there for a number of months. Some days the itching disappears, on others it comes back, but mostly on these three areas. Minor and controllable itching will come and go on other parts, mainly my back, of my torso. I control it with cilantro and Lysine as well as generic topicals. A friend of mine was diagnosed with GD and Lysine seems to keep it in remission. Nothing else. After following this site for about the last 10 months, I feel fortunate that my symptoms are much less serious than many others. My sincerest sympathy's to those who suffer more than myself. It appears that my itching is different than most, as it has localized and hasn't spread significantly. I was just interested in any feed back to see if any one else out there is familiar with what I am going through. Thanks.
