The case of a 73-year old man with herpes simplex and staphylococcus aureus infection complicating established Grover's disease is presented. This was treated successfully with valaciclovir. While reports of bacterial and herpetic infections complicating other acantholytic diseases, such as Darier's disease, have been published previously, only one publication to date shows herpes simplex infection in Grover's disease.

Article Synopsis
- Grover disease is a skin condition characterized by blistering caused by the breakdown of connections between skin cells, with its causes still unknown and no FDA-approved treatment available.
- Research has shown that B-RAF inhibitors used in cancer treatment can paradoxically lead to Grover disease by causing hyperactivation of ERK, which disrupts skin cell cohesion.
- The study suggests that inhibiting MEK can prevent the onset of Grover disease by controlling ERK activation, indicating a potential therapeutic approach that could benefit both Grover disease and similar genetic conditions like Darier disease.

Article Synopsis
- * There is a noted but poorly defined connection between GD and cutaneous keratinocyte carcinomas, specifically non-melanoma skin cancers (NMSCs), with very few studies highlighting this relationship between 1983 and 2024.
- * GD has been misdiagnosed as various NMSCs, and understanding this connection could provide insights into its underlying mechanisms, possibly reclassifying GD as a unique syndrome.
