Patient's question:
My young niece has recently developed some small red spots on her hands, and she's also not eating well. At first, it started on her hands, but now it has also appeared between her toes. Other than that, she seems fine. Of course, it's summer, and it's quite hot, so I'm not sure if it could be symptoms of hand, foot, and mouth disease. Since I have no experience, I'd like to consult a doctor for guidance.What kind of help do I need: What are the symptoms of hand, foot, and mouth disease?
Doctor's answer:
Hand, foot, and mouth disease is an infectious disease caused by enteroviruses, characterized by small blisters or red papules on the hands, feet, mouth, and buttocks.
