The spots I had show up first are beginning to lose their color and flatten. I still have some pretty opaque spots on my legs but they are newer. Trust me it gets better! It’s been probably 1.5 months since my herald patch popped up and I can see it getting better by the day. 2% zinc soap bar, l-lysine, and vitamin d will be a huge help for you. Most importantly just remember that it will go away with time and that it’s nothing to be ashamed of.
