Six-month-old baby has red spots on the back of the hand, is it hand, foot, and mouth disease?

Patient's question:

These days, my boss said I'm not in good spirits, which has affected my work performance. Actually, I didn't mean to, either. I often can't sleep at night and sometimes feel anxious, not feeling well. If it gets worse, I'm worried it might affect my health and work. Please ask, is it hand, foot, and mouth disease if there are red spots on the back of a six-month-old baby's hand?

Doctor's answer:

Hello, baby has redness or red spots on the back of the hand, not hand, foot, and mouth symptoms. It may be due to allergies or other irritating factors. You can try applying an anti-allergic ointment. Generally, blisters are found on the hands, feet, and mouth. Local use of corticosteroid creams, ointments, or hard ointments, zinc oxide ointments, and tar-based creams. Oral antihistamines for treatment. Avoid eating allergenic and irritating foods, such as seafood, chili, alcohol, coffee, etc.
