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

If you have severe itching, you should beware of the drug ibuprofen and also suspect any other drugs you may be taking. Years ago I broke out in hives on my torso that drove me crazy. It took a while for me and my doctors to realize that the itching was a side effect of an NSAID Rx that I was taking for arthritis. I am allergic to the ingredient ibuprofen that is in all NSAIDS. Even Voltaren, which is a topical version of ibuprofen, eventually gets into my bloodstream and causes itching on parts of the body far from the joints on which it is rubbed.

Thanks for the information. I rarely take ibuprofen. I do take two Tylenol Arthritis every day. I'm pretty sure I also took them during my 13 years of not itching. Which is also the case with most other medications and supplements that I take. Good for you if avoiding ibuprofen helps. I have tried many of the remedies that help other sufferers to no avail. Sometimes I wonder if the transient nature of this scourge doesn't fool some people, including me, into thinking they found something that works.
