Grover's Disease - Causes, Symptoms and Treatment
Definition Grover's disease is also known as transient acantholytic dermatosis. It is a condition that appears suddenly as itchy red spots on the trunk, most often in older men. Minor cases of Grover's disease may be rather common. Sometimes the features of Grover's are found in people who do not itch or have a conspicuous rash. Most of the people with Grover's who visit a dermatologist, however, itch a lot. It is a skin condition affecting the chest and back. It is a rare temporary skin disorder. Under a microscope one finds separation of closely connected cells in the skin's outer layers that can be identified by a dermatologist. Small blisters containing a watery liquid are present. These blisters tend to group and have a swollen red border around them. Grover's Disease is mainly seen in males over the age of forty. Its cause is unknown but it is thought to be related to trauma to sun damaged skin. Causes
