What is Grover's disease of the skin?

Forgot to add I am a 55 year old woman. And I find it odd they seem to think its more common in men cause this forum and the others I have found are filled with women AND my torso has not had extensive sun damage. My back and chest have, but not my stomach where this all started so I find it hard to believe that sun damage is the main culprit. Especially cause that one derm I saw told me to sit in the sun 15 min a day to see if that helps! So much contradicting information out here.

The other comments replying to you are all true. The Facebook forum has over 3000 members and lots of stories, the best by Brian Lewis, who has thoroughly researched this affliction. I've had the red bumps since 1992 but only itched for 18 months in 2007 and again for the last 4 years. I use Eucerin Itch Relief and take Hydroxyzine to get some sleep. Stay away from steroids. I took 300 mg every night of Gabapentin for the 13 years I didn't itch but it just quit working. I know it can drive you crazy. Good luck.
