Question

Feeling listless and exhausted, what’s going on? Can hand, foot, and mouth disease appear on the buttocks?

The symptoms of hand, foot, and mouth disease primarily include ulcers in the mouth, blisters on the hands and feet, and recurrence of blisters around the anus. For hand and foot affected by hand, foot, and mouth disease, anti-viral ointments can be applied. For the anal area, a soothing anti-inflammatory ointment can be used, and vitamin drops can be applied inside the mouth.
