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

hilly and others on the subject of light therapy- I didn't try light therapy per se, but I had privacy on my deck where I could lay out in the nude and sunbathed.
The direct sunlight didn't feel good. I used to love the feeling. It hurt and burned immediately. I tried to tolerate it adding more time, up to 10 minutes. After a week I simply gave up. The sunlight activated the papuales causing pain. I saw no improvement, the reverse actually.
I think the sunlight may be good to kill bacteria, but my papuales were never infected. I used to splash with Witch Hazel after showering and Witch Hazel is a reportedly anti-bacterial.

I would like your input on my situation. As you know, I have been taking the Cilantro oil twice a day for the last year or so and it appeared to keep my GD at bay. About three weeks ago, I had a new outbreak, my first in a long time. I was talking with my gf about the re occurrence and she suggested, just as an experiment, to stop taking the oil and see what happens. I did, and nothing changed. The itching didn't get any worse, and no new outbreaks either. So now what? Forget the oil all together or start taking it again just as a precaution? I know there is no harm in taking it, but why put something else in my body that doesn't seem to have any effect. I understand that there is no clear answer, but I trust your judgement. Many thanks.
