Question
My child has recently developed red spots on their hands, feet, buttocks, arms, and legs again. After a while, I noticed that they have started to become purulent. The child is very painful now, and I feel very sorry for them. I would like to substitute for their suffering and consider asking a doctor if this is hand, foot, and mouth disease?
Answer
This condition is not necessarily caused by hand, foot, and mouth disease; hand, foot, and mouth disease generally presents with many white spots. It’s best to go to the hospital for a thorough examination to see what the cause is. It’s very likely to be an allergy or eczema. You can use many topical ointments for treatment. Make sure to avoid eating a lot of seafood and spicy, irritating foods; this may help alleviate the condition.
