Patient's question:
Today, while giving the child a bath, I noticed many bumps on their body. They had a fever just yesterday, and before that, there were none.Doctor's answer:
Although both chickenpox and hand, foot, and mouth disease patients may experience fever, there are significant differences between them. Chickenpox blisters are systemic, slightly larger, thin-skinned, and itchy; the rash of hand, foot, and mouth disease primarily appears on the hands, feet, and mouth, with very few on the trunk, smaller in size, and slightly redder in color, with less obvious itching.
