Patient's question:
Can hand, foot, and mouth disease appear on the face? I don't know if the symptoms on my child's face are hand, foot, and mouth disease.Doctor's answer:
Hello, hand, foot, and mouth disease does not appear on the face; it primarily affects the palms, soles, rashes, and mouth ulcers. Most cases involve fever, but it generally does not continue to fever. If the fever persists, it may indicate a serious condition.Advice: Hand, foot, and mouth disease is most commonly contracted by infants and young children. Most cases have mild symptoms, with the main features being fever, rashes, or blisters appearing on the hands, feet, or mouth. Most patients can recover on their own. If there are no complications, children with oral diseases in their hands and feet can usually be treated within a week. If the illness is not complicated, the prognosis is generally good, and recovery can typically occur within a week.
