What is Grover's disease of the skin?

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.

Sorry for your discomfort-- I have had this for years and found no relief. Doctors say "no cure". Have tried many topicals and recently I generously applied over the counter Witch Hazel solution twice daily= symptoms are gone!

Report GD as possible reaction to shingles shot. I did. If we don’t tell them there might be a connection, they’ll never know

I,m really sorry about your GD I have had this for 6 yrs it;s no fun I check this site about twice a week hopping that somone can help me. please forgive my spelling. anyway I have found a treatment that works for me . I wi ll be 80 in a couple of weeks i use a cream for poison ivy. At least I can sleep most of the night. it may not work everyone. but it works for me. I,m not a doctor so I don,t want to give anyone the idea that what I do will help. GDgd,

Hi,
My mother went to her dermatologist with these symptoms and as Grover's disease was considered her doctor considered that she may be allergic to one of her medications. She found out that one of her medications had been substituted with a generic brand. After a year of itching, she found relief when she switched back to the original medication.
Just a thought to consider.

Same thing happened to me and it’s really becoming unbearable. Tried everything about to try Neem oil🤪
