* Chinese medicine: a soup that cleans the system and seems to relieve Grover's : 2 Chinese bitter melons + a bundle of "ma si yin" vegetable (Cantonese pronunciation); boil for one hour. Drink a bowl several times a day; ok to eat the "ma si yin"
* Try small daily dose of "Mylanta" antacid liquid (not within 2 hours of skin creams): one of its side effects is to remove Grover's disease!
* get away from Summer climate to a cooler place. A few weeks away from extreme heat can help symptoms ease considerably
* don't wear singlet under shirt; wear shirt hanging out
* To avoid chest perspiration in Summer: wear a body cooling vest (e.g. try "arcticheat" in www.google.com ). Excellent!
