Strategies For Treating Grover's Disease

Light Therapy With Medication

There are times when the symptoms associated with Grover's disease are severe and may keep returning even after they've initially dissipated. When this occurs, patients may be prescribed light therapy with medication. This type of ultraviolet light therapy has been used in the treatment of a wide range of different skin diseases and may be able to lessen Grover's disease symptoms by inhibiting certain cell multiplication. This option can be used to treat a large area of skin and will need to be performed under the supervision of a physician. The medications used with this light therapy are taken around forty-five to sixty minutes before the ultraviolet light therapy is administered. The application of light helps to activate the ingredients in the initial medication they've taken. Patients may experience relief from symptoms in just a few treatments. However, it can take up to fifteen applications of the therapy for complete relief to occur.
