Just got diagnosed with PR, bit different from what I've seen online

Hello! My doc diagnosed me with PR this morning. I've had the spots for about 2 months I'd say. Started out with the herald's patch and then developed the rest of the spots. My PR rash is a lot less severe than the cases I've seen/read about online. Since I've already had it for a bit, is it safe to say that it won't spread any more/get worse? I only have a couple of spots on my abdomen and back and they do not itch.

    Hi, how are you getting on with this? Did you doctor give you anything for it?

    I think I'm on my 5-6 week of this and I'm still getting some new spots. Sounds like you haven't had that many spots? If you think it's reached it's peak and aren't getting any new spots then I assume it will start fading.
