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

I keep asking won’t do it just thinks steroid then answer annoys me

Severe contact dermatitis sick of the prednisone it’s like makes me sick when I don’t take it mass steroid cream predisone and shots it happen three years ago on my hands after gingsihg hunting never left I have huge lumps on my knuckles and they have to be flattened id love an answer relief

Same here I’m on cortisteroids so the shot can hurt us on those meds I need an answer I look like I shoot up with these rashes on my knuckles and constant burning off crap I get done now it’s so bad looking my hands so swollen I need an answer haven’t got vaccine bc of predisone

My Allergic Contact Dermatitis, ACD, started on my hands. Turns out I am allergic to the preservative in Dawn Dishwashing Liquid, as well as allergic to ingredients in most hand creams. I had also just sprayed seat cushions with Scotch Guard and I am also allergic to the adhesive chemicals in that. Plus I was allergic to my protective gloves as they contained an element in rubber. This all started for me at age 50 and it got more severe and with faster reaction times. It is a chronic disease, meaning no cure, only avoidance.
Without the 5 Day Extended Patch Test I could never have figured out all the contacts that were causing my allergies.
Yes steroids helped me control my rashes, but it's just temporary. Steroids are a treatment but they don't stop what is causing the rash with ACD.
You must educate yourself, study this test on the internet, a common test kit is the True Test. Not all dermatologist's are licensed to perform this test, be sure to ask when you make your appointment. Allergist's also perform this test. It's a life saver. Itching and pain from eczema was making me crazy from lack of sleep.

I might try a Witch Hazel application. Always wondered why someone named the stuff that way. It might work for me too

Thanks for the insight, that this thing hangs around like a bad smell. I have been experimenting with backing off on the prescription lotion when areas go inactive. Within days, the spots and the itches start to reappear. I am preparing for a long campaign.

Over the years I've learned that research targets diseases that are killers: Aids, Childhood Leukemia, Cancers and now Covid. Those of us with miserable chronic diseases are left out. However a real breakthrough for treatment of those with Atopic is Dupixent. It does have multiple side effects but it is giving relief to many lifelong sufferers.

Does Dupixent work for Grovers? I want the rash to go away. I’ve heard of Dupixent. I recently started taking cilantro pills, and haven’t seen that much success as of yet. This disease is debilitating

It apparently does work on Grover's. https://jamanetwork.com/journals/jamadermatology/article-abstract/2775572
It works by blocking 2 signal proteins that are implicated in many inflammatory conditions (IL-4 and IL-13). That said it does have some ocular side effects and is quite expensive where I live (Canada). I have been looking into and taking alternative supplements that also block IL-4 and 13, namely Fisetin, Vitamin E and Feverfew.

Practically no one on this site has had success with the pills. I did the smoothies for over two years with pretty good success, as most people experience. I have since stopped the smoothies in favor of the oil. It is pretty effective as well. You should go back and read the past blogs. Lots of information.

Okay, thank you! What oil are you using?
