Does Highly Chlorinated Water Increase The Chances Of Grover S Disease?

I was diagnosed with Grover s disease. I was encouraged to do swim therapy after knee surgery 2 years ago, and it seems like the highly-chlorinated pool exacerbated the development of this disease. I have read many forums from those who have GD, and several swear that the chlorine worsened, if not created, the disease. Do you have any information on this?

HI
I really appreciate your concern, Grover's disease is very less common disease of skin pigmentation and diagnosis of this is important, this is some what self limiting disease, no specific treatment available for this so why this is called transient acantholytic Dermatosis, chlorine has got no role in this, and not to be tired, hope this information helps, take care.
I find this answer helpful
