Only some herpes on the hands, and a few in the mouth two days ago, is it hand, foot, and mouth disease?

Patient's question:

No

Doctor's answer:

Herpes, known as "hot sores" in traditional Chinese medicine, is a viral skin disease caused by herpesvirus. It is divided into genital herpes, simple herpes, dyshidrotic eczema, and shingles. The physical pain combined with the mental burden often leads to a loss of self-esteem in patients, making them reluctant to interact with the opposite sex, affecting marital relationships and family harmony, and over time, it may even lead to depression.
