Is this PR?

I noticed areas of dry skin on my chest about 2 weeks ago. Upon further investigation i noticed several more on my abdomen. One that was larger and more raised compared to the others. As the week went on, I noticed it spread up my neck and another spot appeared right where my pants sit. I went to my pcp who said it appeared fungal and prescriped some antifungal cream. Of course that did no good. I am a pediatric nurse so I had one of the MDs look at it. She said it looked liked PR. She said to expect it to hang around for awhile. The following weekend I went to the beach and after laying out for two days the spots were almost completely gone. My question is does it really look like PR? Is it common to disappear that fast? And I never noticed a herald spot. I will attach photos below.
