Never heard of it but I think her dermatologist would fully explain the disease . If any thing else she can Google it!

Mudder, I found this information on Mayo. I do not have any direct experience with this though. I do know that rashes can appear suddenly and the cause is not always easy to determine.

I can relate to the link you posted. Dr Casper never mentioned Grovers disease, but has prescribed triamcinolone. The itchy spots go away after a couple of weeks of application. Then return occasionally a few months later. Fortunately, I only have a few small affected areas.
