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 heal on their own. The blisters have disappeared without treatment. The doctor said he has antibodies for this, 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 symptoms, whether 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 visit a local hospital for a complete blood count to rule out the possibility of hand, foot, and mouth disease. Once hand, foot, and mouth disease is confirmed, oral vitamin supplements can be used. If oral mucosal blisters appear, Kangfuxin solution can be used for gargling to help the skin damage recover to normal as much as possible.
