Grover’s Disease - Topical lotion procedures?
Was just officially diagnosed with Grover’s after a second, more in-depth biopsy. I'd tried Triamcinolone before and it didn't seem to help much. Reading up here I started using Denorex as a body wash for affected areas and generous application of Sarna (0.5% campho and 0.5% menthol) and that seems to work for a few hours, esp if I'm not active so I can mostly get thru a work day now
My Herb Pharm cilantro extract just arrived from Amazon and will start that this evening and hopefully see some good effects.
My question is mainly this:
With all of these topical lotions (the Triamcinolone I was prescribed is thicker than before. More like a paste)
After showering, what would be the best order? Do a Sarna lotion first and once that’s mostly absorbed do the Triamcinoline? Or the other way around?
I have some witch hazel wipes I was going to use once or twice a day in order to clean affected areas and then reapply the lotions again
Thoughts?
