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

I was diagnosed with Transient Acantholitic Dermatosis (Grover’s) in 1976. As the name implies, it has been “transient” in that it has come and gone throughout the years.
No dietary changes have ever proven helpful in my case. Photo Therapy has been very beneficial, however. OTC remedies that have been effective are menthol lotions, such as Gold Bond anti-itch (I use Walmart's brand).
It’d also advise keeping a spray bottle of equal parts water and Witch Hazel in the fridge for instant relief from irritation.

I’m on a forum for Grover’s and pretty much tried everything recommended to stop itching. I’m 76 female and was diagnosed by a biopsy for GD. Its been a year of misery with itching, a steroid creme got rid of most of the rash but can’t be on that for long. What has helped me most is the witch hazel also along with the Gold Bond Medicated lotion. I keep a couple spray bottles around the house with just the WH no watering it down or refrigerate as it seems to spray on cold enough for me. I get relief almost immediately but have to spray often. Nights are the worse!

Thank you - the bottle in the fridge is a great idea!
