Question
My child has been crying and fussing recently, with acne appearing on their hands, feet, and bottom. I don’t know how to handle it.
Answer
Hand, foot, and mouth disease is a common pediatric illness characterized by blisters appearing on the hands, feet, and mouth. Symptoms may include a low fever, loss of appetite, and headache before the onset of the disease. The rash initially appears as red macules, which then develop into varying-sized blisters. These blisters have thin walls and clear fluid within them, surrounded by a red halo. When they break, they form erosions or superficial ulcers. It is recommended that you take your child to the hospital for diagnosis and treatment to ensure a quick recovery.
