Grover's Disease: What works to help find relief?

Spot on. (No pun intended, Lol).
Fortunately my GP who recognised the symptoms early and followed up with a biopsy to confirm, also believes that GD is not as rare as is generally mentioned in some quarters.
The Dermatologist I was referred to had, in my opinion, very little understanding of GD and I left with the usual prescription for Corticosteroid cream and a bunch of antihistamines which my Pharmacist could have prescribed.

Very funny comment. At least you found a dermatologist that could even recognize it, may of us are simply told it is eczema and not given a specific name of our type. Giving it a name is a must for you to research and study. None of the doctors help us because there are no know treatments that help most of us. I say that a few say steroids help, but not so in my case. Plus steroids are simply a treatment which is temporary with side effects if used long term and not a solution. I was so hopeful with every prescription for topicals given me and was diligent in application and none of them helped me. My GD had a regular cyclical pattern after my first outbreak of 1 year so at least I got a break with my 6 months active and 6 months dormant. The scabs didn't all fall off even with 6 months of dormancy, but the itching and pain were lessened.
