Patient's question:
My son had a fever repeatedly for the past two days and it wasn't getting better. He also developed small blisters in his mouth and a few on his hands. After the doctor examined him, he said it was hand, foot, and mouth disease. We started taking medication for it. But I just noticed two small bumps on his face. Does hand, foot, and mouth disease cause bumps on the face?Doctor's answer:
Hello, friend, although the name of the disease is called hand, foot, and mouth disease, this disease is caused by a virus. The most common clinical manifestations are red maculopapules appearing on the baby's hands, feet, and oral mucosa. However, it can also appear on other parts of the body. So, if your baby has two small pimple-like things on their face, it is likely caused by hand, foot, and mouth disease. Don't worry!
