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

I wound up with Grover's disease after the second Shingrix vaccination. For 10-12 weeks the blistery rash was driving me crazy. The Physician's Assistant termed it "angry". I also saw a dermatologist. Both doctors prescribed the steroid prednisone, and both times the rash nearly went away -- until I ended the prescription! I read that the symptoms typically last 6-12 months -- what? I read that cilantro could help, but it didn't improve my situation.

I turned to a local provider of homeopathic medicine and was (predictably) told prednisone only treats symptoms, not the underlying problem -- I was desperate to try something/anything! I spent about $100-120 on a combination of three medicines (in each case, about a thirty day supply). It worked! I didn't turn the corner immediately, but by the time I finished the itchy rash was gone (that was about a month ago, and I am still doing fine). It may or may not work for others, but it sure worked for me. I am attaching a picture of the three medicines I took.

I should have added that while I was taking the three homeopathic medicines, I also started taking Zyrtec (over the counter allergy medicine). Initially, when the symptoms were raging, I took two tablets per evening (the dermatologist said I could), and as symptoms eased I took one tablet and finally none.
