Patient's question:
It's almost a month now. First, a growth appeared on my buttock, which I ignored, and then it went away. Later, a growth appeared on my finger, and after it went away, another one appeared on a different part of my hand. This has been happening continuously. Today, I checked my hand again, and a growth has appeared on the palm, and the one that was there before has also gone away. It definitely can't be hand, foot, and mouth disease. I'm not even running a fever.Doctor's answer:
Dear Consultee, Hand, foot, and mouth disease is a type of two common childhood infectious diseases caused by contagious enteroviruses. It is primarily a disease characterized by rashes on the hands, feet, mouth, and buttocks, accompanied by symptoms such as fever. Most children can recover on their own, with only a small number experiencing complications. In terms of treatment, it is mainly based on antiviral medications, such as antiviral oral liquids and Radix Isatidis preparations. When complications arise, antibiotics are used.
