Patient's question:
Since yesterday, the baby has developed red spots on the face, upper body, and head. Some of the spots have formed blisters, with redness around them and itching. There are no red spots or blisters inside the mouth, and the baby is not feverish.Doctor's answer:
Hello, this parent, considering the child's condition, it should not be hand, foot, and mouth disease, but it might be chickenpox. For the child's condition, it is recommended to go to the hospital for a check-up. Considering it could be chickenpox, if it is treated with antiviral therapy, it is similar to the treatment for hand, foot, and mouth disease, as both are viral infections. This disease can be very severe after onset and is a highly harmful disease to children, so it is essential to prevent it. Let the child develop the habit of washing hands before meals and after using the restroom. Do not let the child go to crowded places.
