Grover's Disease: What works to help find relief?
Skin Health | Last Active: 3 days ago | Replies (1938)Comment receiving replies
I will try to keep this as brief as possible and if it helps anyone it will be worthwhile, I was literally in despair and desperate and a site like this literally “saved me” in 2012..
I was diagnosed with Grovers disease after bi-op ( this is the ONLY way it can be clinically proven) in 2012..
I saw some of the most “renowned “ dermatologists in the UK , was prescribed all the usual drugs mentioned on here.
I kept asking what is causing it,… as everyone on here knows I was getting lots of different answers, heat, diet etc etc
My symptoms got steadily worse over months, started with spots on torso, progressed to lots of spots on different parts of body, dizzy spells, twice had blackouts, no sleep, anxiety etc etc..
Through research a potential cause kept coming up ..mercury
No one in this country would test for it..(don’t know if it’s different now)
I had to go to New York and was tested by Dr Paul Dantzig, who did hair folicile and blood tests and found I had extremely high mercury readings..
He was convinced this was the cause of my Grovers and all my other symptoms..
The mercury he said came from my teeth, I had 2 split amalgams which were put in 30 years ago..
Anyway had 2 courses of Chemet
All mercury amalgams replaced with porcelain
That was 2014…
Never had a problem since, all the spots and symptoms disappeared
As I said this isn’t for everyone, but i found the cause and someone who was able to cure me..
For the serious cases on here it may be worth thinking about..
Best of luck

You are not the first, as you probably know, that suffers this misery due to mercury. I'm 79 and still have all my original fillings but attribute my situation to the shingles vaccine. Of course, this is just conjecture. I recently had a relapse after almost two years of dormancy. Fortunately, it is a fairly small area on my stomach. After trying countless numbers of creams, plain old Cortizone helps to reduce the itching if only temporarily. I read a couple of days ago that ice also helps to quell the itching, so while lying in bed I put some frozen food on the area and left it there for almost an hour. It eliminated the discomfort for the night and I slept. Thanks to anybody who suggested this remedy. I have been reading this site for almost 5 years and this was the first time ice registered as a treatment. Thanks again.
