Patient's question:
My son is still under two years old. There are a few blisters-like things on his hands. The doctor said they are mild and will improve on their own. The blisters have disappeared without treatment. The doctor said he has such antibodies, so there is no need for treatment. It is considered mild.Doctor's answer:
The child has developed some small blisters on their hands. There are two possible causes. One is simple hand eczema, and the other is an early stage of hand, foot, and mouth disease. Therefore, it is necessary to carefully inquire about the child's self-reported symptoms. Is there accompanied by mild or severe itching? If itching is present, the possibility of hand eczema is higher. If only fever symptoms appear, it is recommended to have a blood test at the local hospital to rule out the possibility of hand, foot, and mouth disease. Once hand, foot, and mouth disease is confirmed, oral vitamin supplements can be considered. If oral mucosal blisters appear, can be used for gargling. This can help maximize the recovery of skin damage to normal conditions.
