Question
The baby has some red rashes on his neck again, and he keeps scratching it with his hands. Are the rashes itchy from hand, foot, and mouth disease?
Answer
The main symptoms of hand, foot, and mouth disease are rashes on the mouth, palms, and soles of the feet, but they do not appear on other parts of the body like the neck. Therefore, if your baby has rashes on his neck, it is unlikely to be caused by hand, foot, and mouth disease. It is recommended that you take your baby to see a dermatologist to determine the cause of the rash and rule out other possibilities, such as allergic dermatitis.
