Grove's skin condition is Grover's disease, also known as transient acantholytic dermatosis. It is a common, acquired, itchy rash characterized by acantholysis, a separation of skin cells, on microscopic examination.
Grover's disease is typically seen in older men and presents as itchy red spots on the trunk of the body. While the exact cause is unknown, factors like sun exposure, heat, and certain medications may contribute to its development.
Treatment for Grover's disease focuses on managing the symptoms, including the itch. Common approaches include topical corticosteroids, antihistamines, and avoiding triggers like hot baths or showers. The condition often resolves on its own within a few months, but it can persist for longer periods in some individuals.
