First time commenting here- I want to thank everyone who has shared their experiences with this frustrating condition. I felt so alone with this until I came across this forum and your words/advice have changed my life. Here’s my brief story- I first noticed breakouts about 15 years ago, they were transient and mild. They became less transient about 5 years ago and kicked into high gear, oddly, right after Shingrix vaccine. PCP said it was folliculitis, gave me antibiotics and anti-bacterial wash which did nothing.
Last year I finally told dermatologist who confirmed Grover’s. They say this is a rare disease but I think there are many like me who suffer in silence. After much experimentation and not wanting to take any meds I found that liberal and daily use of Calamine lotion was the only thing that somewhat stopped the itch(but not breakouts).

That was until I learned about cilantro from many of you! Finally, some hope! I’m on day 3 and have not had to use Calamine anymore. I still feel tingling in back and have a couple spots that are trying to materialize but the cilantro smoothies seem to be building efficacy. I am hoping I can report the success many of you have over the next month or so. I’m keeping my blend simple for now: 2 c frozen fresh cilantro, 3/4 c almond milk, 1/2 c frozen blueberries and a bit of banana. I am so grateful that I found this discussion.... thank you all!
