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

Posted by 43219876x @43219876x, Sep 23, 2016

I have been diagnosed with Grover's disease under my breasts. I had a biopsy for diagnosis. Tried topical ointment with no really good results. Any ideas?

Ice packs on the itchy area, until it gets numb. Very effective, for me, as well as others.

But it comes back after the ice is off

It is not a cure. There is no cure. So yes it does come back but it gives you quite a bit of relief if you leave the ice on long enough. Have you tried Cilantro smoothies?

How is working so far?! The reason you should let it sit is because it triggers an enzyme reaction that boosts the healthy compounds in garlic.

I have used OTC hydrocortisone lotion 1% with success on Grover’s.
There is also a steroid /yeast combination cream by prescription from
your dermatologist for flare ups.

Thanks for the advice. I will post my impressions when I give it a bit more time. So far it may have had a positive effect.

I’ve been drinking the cilantro smoothie for 5 days and it seems to be helping but I’ve thought that before and then it’s back with a vengeance 😩

4 years ago I took the smoothies every day for 4 months before quitting. I was clear of Grover’s during that time and never had a flare up until recently. Than 10 days of smoothies and I’m clear again.
