What is Grover's disease of the skin?

Hello,

I was recently diagnosed with Grover's Disease back in February of this year. The rash is on my trunk and my lower back. I have tried everything from corticosteroids to light therapy, and nothing seems to work. If anything the light therapy exacerbated GD. I don't have any itching, just was wondering if the rash itself goes away overtime? I have reached my wits end with this disease

@chickensoup1, the rash acts differently in different people, going away permanently on it's own in some people, coming and going at intervals in others, and remaining a constant presence in others like myself. I realize you are very frustrated, but if your Grover's is producing no itching, consider that a perverse stroke of good luck because the Grover's itching can drive you absolutely CRAZY!
You will find great info on this forum if you follow this link and start reading the pages from this particular page in 2019 to the present day. It is very time-consuming, but worth the trouble. Best of luck!
