@itchyrich Yes sir, diabetes mellitus (DM) can definitely add time to the healing process, especially in the lower extremities. That's due to a few factors: DM can cause narrowing and hardening of the blood vessels resulting in reduced blood flow thereby making it harder to bring oxygen and nutrients to the lower legs and feet - that also makes it more difficult to remove waste products from healing tissues, making the area more prone to infection; white blood cells - which aid in tissue repair healing -may not function as well to provide optimum healing in as quick a manner; high blood sugar levels can damage nerves leading to altered sensation so individuals with DM don't always feel initial signs of injury or infection.

I'm glad to hear you're already involved in support groups for Grover's Disease. While many people think it's similar to eczema, it's actually a different entity and far less common. Have you found the groups helpful - or been able to pass along helpful information yourself in those groups?
