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

Gabapentin has helped me. I’m on a high dosage until I can see a neurologist. 900mg
Also use hydroxyzine to sleep at night.
Still itchy though
Has anyone experienced “purpura “. Flat purple blotches from scratching.
Any cures known for them?
I have used a mixture of clobesitol (steroid solution) with cerave but am trying to wean myself since I think it is the culprit for the blotches. Thanks for any advice.

Yes, sizable purpura areas mostly on my forearms and hands, small ones on my face. Know of no cure. Mine went away in a couple weeks. I'm 73 so suspect my forearms and hands are susceptible from sun damage in addition to the weakening of the skin from GD. Dermo said it was a bruise but I did nothing to cause bruising.
