Answer
After a child recovers from hand, foot, and mouth disease, it’s normal for them to experience regional peeling on the palms of their hands or soles of their feet. However, it’s important to avoid letting them scratch the skin to prevent bleeding and infection. At the same time, try to keep them away from water and other chemicals to minimize irritation.
