Grover's Disease tied to Shinglix Vaccine

I've had Grover’s since 1976. It’s called Transient for a reason. It comes and goes. I've had both shingles shots in the last two years along with four Covid shots and have noticed no increase nor decrease in my Grover’s symptoms.

Of course, I have been going through phototherapy during that time, and this I have found to be the most effective treatment.

I was diagnosed, via biopsy, with GD in 1992. Had the rash only for 15 years and in 2007 all hell broke loose and I itched very badly for 18 months. Dermatologist at UCSF prescribed Gabapentin which almost immediately stopped the itch. Took it for 13 years with no more itching until it quit working about 18 months ago, many months after the Covid vaccine.
Haven't had any other vaccines near the time I itched. Suspect it just comes and goes as it pleases. I will be seeing a new derm in the near future and will try to get some phototherapy.
