Patient's question:
Yesterday, after going out for fun, I came back and got a fever. My temperature was 38 degrees. After taking fever-reducing medicine, the fever went down. But in the middle of the night, it started again. That's when I noticed many red spots on my legs, some with blisters. The baby doesn't feel itchy. Are the red spots on the child's legs hand, foot, and mouth disease?Doctor's answer:
The child's legs may have red spots, which are generally not hand, foot, and mouth disease. It could be caused by eczema or other skin allergies. However, based on the situation you described, it should be due to infantile roseola, as there is a high fever. It is best to take the child to the hospital for a check-up. Avoid using any topical creams on the child and pay close attention to hygiene in the affected area. Use warm water to clean the area frequently.
