Question
What are the symptoms of hand, foot, and mouth disease? Why do blisters form on the hands and feet?
Answer
Hand, foot, and mouth disease is an illness caused by enteroviruses, often leading to blisters and ulcers on the hands, feet, and mouth. Symptoms may include fever, sore throat, and rashes. Mild cases typically do not require hospitalization, but severe cases may necessitate medical intervention. The skin of hand, foot, and mouth disease does not become infected and should be kept clean.
