My son is six months old. Are the bubbles on his body hand, foot, and mouth disease?

Patient's question:

My son is six months old. There are bubbles on his body. Is it hand, foot, and mouth disease? Treatment history and effectiveness: None. What kind of help do you want: I want to ask if it is hand, foot, and mouth disease.

Doctor's answer:

Hand, foot, and mouth disease in children is characterized by blisters on the hands, feet, and mouth. In rare cases, it can lead to complications such as myocarditis, pulmonary edema, and aseptic meningitis/encephalitis. If the blisters are not on these three areas, it should not be hand, foot, and mouth disease. However, I still recommend taking your baby to the hospital for a check-up. Thank you for your encouragement to Ask Any Question. I hope you have a happy and fulfilling life.
