Patient's question:
Only small red spots appeared on the palms and soles without high fever or pain—what illness could this be? Male, 7 years old. Two weeks ago, due to stomach issues, small bumps appeared on the corners of his mouth, and there were also some in his nostrils. Yellow discharge was flowing from his nose. He visited the pediatric department of a traditional Chinese medicine college and took herbal medicine, which improved the condition. Tonight at 8 PM, after school, he wore only a short-sleeved shirt due to the heat. Later, he noticed his feet were itchy and found the same on his palms.Previous treatment and outcomes: No allergies, no history of hereditary diseases.
Desired help: What illness could this be? Is it measles, or rubella?
Doctor's answer:
Small red spots appearing on the hands, on the one hand, may be considered hand tinea; on the other hand, it could be due to a lack of B vitamins. In terms of treatment, the focus should be on addressing both aspects. Apply Hua Tuo ointment or Wuda Ning cream. Take cross-linked B vitamins orally. The above suggestions are for the question "Only small red spots appeared on the palms and soles without fever or pain." I hope this helps. Wishing you good health!
