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

FYI - I stopped drinking alcohol in 2009, however was diagnosed with GD (Biopsy) in 2018. Dermo says due to
too much exposure to sun during years of playing golf and holidaying in the Pacific Islands. Still have problem with itch at night when skin temperature rises due to bedding, very little problem during day.
It seems to me that different things help different people and this is the most frustrating thing for me regarding GD.

I was diagnosed in 1976 after suffering a severe sunburn. I have never doubted that this disease's onset was caused by this trauma. Luckily, photo therapy has worked well for me, keeping my outbreaks at bay for several years now.

I've heard that Grover’s is caused by sweating, nerves, diet, alcohol consumption…but skin trauma is still the only thing that makes sense to me.
