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

Like many of you I rely on antihistamines (Allegra and Benadryl currently). The only side effect I've noticed is frequent nosebleeds which I attribute to dry sinuses. I've been taking antihistamines twice daily for over a year. Does anyone know of any longterm problems with regular use of antihistamines? Thanks.

I was prescribed antihistamines for my Grover’s itch. It didn’t really help, but my blood went super high, so I got off them & my blood pressure returned to normal.

Old school anti-histamines like benadryl or hydroxyzine are tied to a higher frequency of dementia. Google it. The newer anti-histamines are not, yet I find them ineffective for itch control and the newer ones don't help you sleep.
