Thanks sooo much for that
I’ve been dealing w/Grovers for over 2 years. & have tried various creams & medicines.
My latest success is coconut oil. My skin feels so smooth.
I use Gabapentin if it gets super itchy & wean myself off after the flare up is under control.
Good luck!! I had never heard of it prior to my dermatologist's suggestion. I guess that's actually a good thing though. Someone told me once that drug companies don't have to advertise the drugs that actually work well because, they "sell" themselves with results. The drugs that are incessantly advertised on TV and in print ads, etc. need to sell better because they don't work as well or have lots of side effects.
One frustrating problem with GD is that there is no single treatment that works for everyone. I guess that is expected since doctors still don't know what causes GD and it isn't common enough for researchers to spend much time and money on it. Sigh......
