Grover's Disease and chemo

I was diagnosed with Grover's Disease (a skin condition) following my first round of chemo in December. The MO initially was concerned that it might be Disseminated Shingles since it was mostly on my back and there were a lot of spots. I saw a dermatologist who did a punch biopsy and confirmed Grover's. It seems odd since that is a problem generally for elderly men with sun damage.

Anyway, I don't find much online about the connection between chemo and Grover's. I've had 4 of 6 rounds now and I continue to have this problem. It's not as bad nor as itchy, but I still get scattered spots everywhere. The dermatologist only recommended staying cool. HAHAHAHA! I have so many hot flashes, it's ridiculous!

Anyone else have this diagnosis? Did it go away after chemo was over? What did you do to help (if anything)?
