I also suffer from a similar rash and was told it is Grover’s disease. He did not do a scrap only a visual exam. When I get overheated it feels like I am covered in stinging nettles then the rash.

I use a steroid cream and it helps but that is after the fact.

Thank you so much for your post! I am covid 3x & got a patch of grover's disease on my back after my first Pfizer vax. It has become progressively worse with each booster but the connection was made only last month. -Ironically, it was my cardiologist who dx it as a reaction to the latest booster.

As I study MCAS and the trigger has been ID'd I'm now experimenting with itch control. For some reason I seem to do best with one 20mg Pepcid every morning, and no Zyrtec. I'm finally able to sleep thru the night.
