Question
Lately, my daughter has developed many small blisters on her hands and feet, and they are very itchy. I’m worried she might have Hand, Foot, and Mouth Disease. Doctor, can Hand, Foot, and Mouth Disease cause itching on the hands and feet?
Answer
Hand, Foot, and Mouth Disease usually comes with the appearance of blisters, and when there are many blisters, they can easily cause itching and pain. Based on your daughter’s symptoms, it is recommended to isolate her for treatment and undergo antiviral treatment after confirming that the infection is caused by a virus. Before deciding on medication washes, avoid eating spicy and irritating foods to prevent the symptoms from worsening. It is suggested to use medication under the guidance of a local doctor.
