Thank u for your response. Dermatologist thinks it’s a reaction to shingles. A biopsy was done to eliminate cancer I think the acronym was CTLA or something similar. I will post the right one later. The cancer was negative. Derm. Said it was a well known reaction but I was skeptical because first time she did not recognize it as such. I have not been tested I have not been tested for Grover’s but all my blood tests are normal. Would u n willing to exchange email so we can keep in touch. Mine is zaznagarb at hotmail in case u agree. It’s now 3 months and still battling it. Thx much for response. I am in Canada

@zaznagarb blood tests do not detect Grover’s Disease only a biopsy. I suffered with rashes for years but last year it got really bad on my chest. Biopsy was done in April which confirmed what was suspected two years earlier. I use Calciptrione (not sure of the spelling) and Sarna Calm & Cool and Calmoseptine for itching. I also take 24hr. Allegra. I would ask for a biopsy. I hope this helps.
