Patient's question:
When washing the baby's face, I suddenly noticed a few white blisters on my palm and the back of my hand. They were small, just a little tiny ones. I asked him if it hurt or itched, and he said it didn't hurt or itch. I was very worried, not knowing if it was hand, foot, and mouth disease. I checked his feet and didn't see anything, but there were blisters on his palm.What kind of assistance is needed: I noticed white blisters on the baby's hand, wondering if it's hand, foot, and mouth disease. What should I do?
Doctor's answer:
Your baby's condition first needs to be checked for any sores on the soles of the feet and in the mouth. Additionally, it's necessary to check the temperature to see if there's a high fever. It's important to investigate the possibility of hand, foot, and mouth disease. If none of these are present, and there are blisters in the affected area, it might be contact dermatitis caused by exposure to something. It's nothing serious; you can apply some anti-inflammatory ointment to relieve the symptoms. Do you understand?
