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

I've been reading all your posts for a week to help find relief from the itching. I've had Grover's for nearly a year and now it has covered almost every square inch of my body at some point. I've tried Triamcinone cream which didn't help at all, Clobetasol cream which did help a little and took Acitretin 25mg for 3 months. I'm not sure if the Acitretin helped and the side effects are numerous so I just stopped it to see if the Cilantro smoothie does the trick. Someone also mentioned Boudreau's Butt Paste so I've been trying it on my legs for a few hours each morning....it does kill the itch, but what a mess it makes! I've also used Sarna and Gold Bond powder, both versions that contain menthol....they help for a short period. I'm going to get some of the Tea Tree Oil creme to try....let you know how that works out. The reason I stopped the Acitretin is that on my blood work last week my thyroid TSH level has dropped to scary low levels and it may be the cause along with the Clobetasol creme....just don't know......this is getting old!!!!! I'll keep you posted and continue to follow all your suggestions.

Yes please, follow up and let's know how you got on 🙂

Aveno has a restorative skin and itch cream that works, I have also been taking Vit A and D along with a cilantro pill and a cilantro smoothie every day, has kept it at bay for weeks now. I use dr Bronners baby soap in the shower, cool shower, stay away from hot water.
