Where this comes from

Abstract

Twenty-six years have passed since Grover first described transient acantholytic dermatosis. Since then, the concept of Grover's disease has been expanded to include persistent acantholytic dermatoses as well. Although its origin remains unknown, it may result from an isomorphic response to excessive heat, sweating, or xerosis. It is currently classified as a nonfamilial, non-immune-mediated, acantholytic disorder.
