they look like pustules to me
Expert:  Dr Kay replied 19 days ago.

I have a feeling it can be monkeypox .But do not worry its a self-limiting condition and they will disappear in a few days.

Is there anything I can do to make them go quicker?
How many days does it last (roughly)?
Expert:  Dr Kay replied 19 days ago.

In case they increase in number then you might need to see a GP  or attending a GUM clinic might help.

It says it will spread to whole body and last 2-4 weeks!!!!
Customer: replied 19 days ago.
Is that correct?
Expert:  Dr Kay replied 19 days ago.

Yes, it can spread on other areas but it depends on your immune or defense sytem.

More spots can come if defense is poor and it makes sense.
