Hi @jbmakos, welcome to Connect.
Here is some information about Grover's disease http://rarediseases.org/rare-diseases/grovers-disease/ "Grover's disease is a rare, transient skin disorder that consists of small, firm, raised red lesions, most often on the skin of the chest and back."
I'm tagging @shirlwpb @cindylou on this message as they have asked questions about Grover's in the past too.
@jbmakos, have you been diagnosed with Grover's disease?

yes
Yes, I was diagnosed with grover’s disease by my dermatologist (biopsy), I also have a history of various types of skin cancers. I treat the grover’s with anti fungal cream prescribed (you can buy it over- the-counter) and keeps the itching down.. I feel grover’s more in the summer from the heat than other times of the year.
Yes Brown Derm. RI Hospital. Had biopsy 1st apt 10- 19- 2021
Go over positive results ( grovers )

I got my shingles shots last July and September, waiting 10 weeks between shots. I subsequently came down with Grovers disease. I am 99% positive that the shots were the cause. Absolutely NOTHING works to relieve the itching. For me the only effective remedy, to a small degree, is Motrin. NOTHING else, despite all the prescribed medicines, pills and sprays prescribed by my Dermatologist. I believe, had I waited for 4 months, I may have avoided it.
