📋Overview
Grover's disease, also known as transient acantholytic dermatosis, is a skin condition characterized by itchy red spots and bumps, primarily on the chest and back. It is a distinct dermatological diagnosis rather than a legacy term. The condition involves focal areas of acantholysis (loss of connections between skin cells) seen on skin biopsy. It is typically self-limited but can be recurrent or persistent in some cases.
