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

Any thoughts on skin humidity? I'm in the far northeast of VT and seem to experience the first touch of GD when an ok day time indoor temp is good but being in bed before house temp has reduced seems to stir the GD, mostly on my back. I now keep temps in the mid 60's and dress for that. Eczema also in my mix, since age 2. Winter is coming and I wonder about skin humidity issues?

I have had GD as per Biopsy, for approx 2.5 yrs, and now slowly diminishing to where I call "Stage 3", i.e. only severe itching when my Skin Temperature increases due to additional clothing in Winter, (not an unbearable issue in Brisbane, Qld. Aust.). Bed time is my nightmare as blankets and even cotton sheets will cause a flare-up. (Sends me ratty for about an hour or so). Humidity can range from 45 to 85 degrees during the day without any change to GD itch, and I have found that once my skin temp has reached a point of equilibrium after I get up in the morning, very little itching throughout the day. Thanks for small mercies. Wet or dry weather conditions don't seem to make any noticeable difference to my "itch cycle".
