Grover’s Disease

Posted by sharfar @sharfar, Mar 13, 2022

Hello-I am a 54 year old, active female recently diagnosed with Grover’s Disease. It started shortly after having an MRI. And it started on my neck and went up behind my ear. It is now on my stomach and back and arms. Is there a correlation between the MRI and Grover’s? I’m also a runner but have been running in freezing temperatures, not heat as suggested in much of what I’m reading.
Thanks for any help you may offer including any suggestions on helping to get rid of it.

My initial outbreak was a month after an MRI. I had an MRI at the end of November and now I have another outbreak about a month later.

Yes, regular cilantro. If the organic cilantro looks fresher I buy that.

Hey Hawk. That's because derms don't actually have to live with this. I have an appt. w/mine next week, and he's going to hear all about cilantro smoothies (I'm actually having one as I type this) & how all his pills & OTC lotions did nada....Good luck to you, my friend!

That is very interesting. I used to be an MRI/Radiologic Technician and was diagnosed with Grover’s disease last year.
I used to hold babies when they needed X-rays and have MRIs to test the equipment. Wondering about the correlation?

Thank you so much. The cilantro is regular, not Italian, right?

Some refer to Italian Parsley as cilantro, but it is not cilantro, it's just a different variety of ordinary parsley.

What kind of contrast was used for your MRI? Wouldn't that be more likely to be a trigger ?
MRI's don't have radiation exposure.
