Grover's Disease: What works to help find relief?

yess: I too have both Grovers & leg swelling. I was also told I have VI. Had a procedure about 5 weeks ago for the swelling/redness. No swelling since, but redness & ITCH still remains. Was hoping procedure would cure this. Not so far. Also have same issue with other (right) leg. I believe your diagnosis is correct, as I have had NO swelling in treated leg.

Thank you for your comment. I had a meeting with my dermatologist yesterday. He said the leg swelling was not likely a result of Grovers, directly, at all, but very likely a result of the Kenalog shots I was taking to fight Grovers - exacerbating an underlying predisposition to VI. That makes sense to me, I think. I intend to stop the Kenalog shots. I hope that works. Time will tell.
