Question
Recently, a parent noticed small red blisters on their daughter’s face and body, which were diagnosed as eczema after a hospital visit. The parent wants to understand the specific differences between hand, foot, and mouth disease and eczema.
Answer
Hello, based on the description provided, the condition appears to be eczema, which is related to allergies. It is recommended to use baby eczema-specific ointments. Baby eczema is not a severe disease; as long as you pay attention to allergens and maintain hygiene, effective prevention can be achieved. Hand, foot, and mouth disease first presents with upper respiratory infection symptoms, followed by blisters appearing on the hands, feet, mouth, and buttocks in corresponding areas. Some patients may also experience common symptoms such as fever, with blisters containing fluid. According to your description, without a face-to-face observation, it is difficult to make an accurate diagnosis. It is recommended to seek medical attention promptly for diagnosis and to take effective treatment measures after confirmation.
