Grover's Disease or Psoriasis?

About a year ago, I was diagnosed, via biopsy, with Grover's disease. None of the treatments tried thus far have had any lasting affect. After begging my dermatologist to do some additional biopsies, its come back now as psoriasis. I don't yet know what type of psoriasis, but using my google skills, I've yet to find any photos of true psoriasis that look anything remotely like what i have. At the same time, I've yet to find any photos of Grover's disease that look anything like I have either. Further, all the research I have done on Grover's suggest that it "should" be temporary. I've been dealing with this for nearly 15 years! Has anyone on here ever been mis-diagnosed with Grovers and/or Psoriasis and it turned out to be something else? If so, what line of questions did you bring to your dermatologist to get to a final, definitive diagnosis?
