Patient's question:
I don't know what's going on, but my child has been misbehaving and crying non-stop recently. Even the hospital check-ups haven't helped. How should I handle the small pimples that have appeared on my hands, feet, and buttocks?Doctor's answer:
Hand, foot, and mouth disease is a viral skin condition characterized by blisters on the hands, feet, and mouth, most commonly affecting children. Before the rash appears, there are usually prodromal symptoms such as low fever, poor appetite, and headache. The skin lesions initially appear as red macules, which quickly develop into blisters of varying sizes. The blisters have thin walls and clear fluid, surrounded by a red halo. After rupture, they form white erosions or shallow ulcers. It is recommended that you visit a medical institution for differential diagnosis and timely treatment to ensure early recovery.
