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

Hope4cure- I know anti-biotics are prescribed for Rosacea. Here's a disgusting new theory. It is caused by the bacteria deposited by the Demodex mite mite that lives on our faces. When they die they deposit bacteria. Rosacea patients have 10 times the amount of these mites living on their faces than those without Rosacea. Yet haven't read anything about these mites causing folliculitis So smart to not assume one derm knows it all . I made that mistake for over a decade. Do you have the option of seeing several derms? I do that and often one is more helpful about one of my conditions and another is helpful about a different one.

I seem to have the rosacea under control with metronidazole gel. Only have to use a tiny bit on chin and corners of nose only. Yes when I think of the mites living on my skin I get really grossed out. But, we all have it, some more than others and some are irritated by what they do. I have not found any info that is causes Folliculitis either. I do have the options to explore Dermatologists thankfully. I have yet found one that is really good. I will have to explore that more. Gone through many but find if they are in the same office they use all the same philosophies. I’ve been through 2 medical groups. Should have never listen to the one that said it was Grover’s and that I didn’t need a biopsy that she’s seen it many times. My thoughts are if the rosacea is fungal and the dermatitis on my scalp is yeast related why would the Folliculitis be bacterial? I’ll have to continue to be my own advocate😕
