Rash Triggers?

Hello, I can use your advice. I was recently exposed to walking pneumonia and two days later had a rapid spreading rash that I’ve had for almost 3 weeks now. Nothing touched it so finally did 15 days of prednisone and that’s mostly taken care of it.

Been having some reactions to Covid vaccines, flu shots, Shingrix, etc, for about 5 years, but this felt like this rash was from left field. My Dermatologist said that the body can go crazy when having CLL, but right now I’m not on meds and in remission. I even went to get blood drawn to make sure it has not reared it’s ugly head.

Anyone else experience a similar experience to this, getting exposed to a virus and your body looses its mind? Am I naive to think that I’m past the illness and that my body isn’t forever going to be impacted and that my immune system will never be what it was before CLL? I know the outcome of my experience, I guess I’m trying to make sense of “why” if there is an answer.
