What Are The Symptoms Of Grover S Disease?

It s been three weeks now that I have been breaking out in spotty red rashes that itch immensely. My derm did do a biopsy and diagnosed me with grovers disease. I have been researching and I still,don t get it. Anyway.......my lower eyelids hAve become red and flakey ......itch and burn and occasionally my face feels very hot and flushed. Could this have anything to,do,with grovers. I am starting to really freak out about all these crazy symptoms.

Hello dear,

Grovers disease means transient acantholytic dermatosis, in which there is rash mainly
over the back chest shoulder area, and vesicles may develop later on.it inches also.This condition is aggravated by hot humid environment and by sweating also.

But your description regarding rash under eyes and flaking is a bit confusing,that type of lesions many times seen in allergic conditions.

Anyway do apply creams containing steoids, potent strong steroids like clobetasol on back, mild like flutivate cream on face.dont overuse otherwise may cause side effects.apply good moisturizer on face too.

You can post images to guide you further(drraseshpatel@gmail.com), thank you
