If you're a patient with Grover's Disease, you may have gone to bed one night feeling perfectly fine, only to wake in the morning with an itchy rash on your back. You may have wondered what happened. Bed bugs? Your new laundry detergent? A strange viral infection? You may have assumed the rash would be gone in a day or two.

It wasn't The rash might have spread. First your chest, then maybe even your arms and thighs. It might have gone on for weeks. Then, you might have decided to visit the dermatologist because you didn't want to live with the itch. The episode might have lasted last about 10 months, then just disappeared.

That's the typical Grover's Disease story.

In most cases of Grover's Disease, the patient

Is a middle-aged man

Has an itch

Has the rash for 6 to 12 months.

In other cases of Grover's Disease, the patient

Is a woman or child

Does not have an itch

Has a rash that lasts less than six months or longer than a year.

Here are common causes of rashes:

A viral infection like Chicken Pox

A bacterial infection like MRSA

A fungal infection like Athlete's Foot

An infestation of mites or bugs, like scabies

Contact with an irritant like poison ivy.

There's no evidence that Grover's Disease is caused by any of these things. In fact, the best explanation is that Grover's Disease is a case of mistaken identity. Somehow the immune system--your body's homeland security system that protects you from bacterial and viral terrorists--suddenly thinks that the skin is a dangerous invader, and fights against itself.

Why is this important? being kind to your immune system may contribute to your cure.
