What should I do if I have hand, foot, and mouth disease and the blisters don't form scabs?

Patient's question:

A child has recovered from hand, foot, and mouth disease, but the blisters have not healed after several days and are not forming scars. What should be done?

Doctor's answer:

Based on your description, I suspect that the two blisters on your legs are not caused by hand, foot, and mouth disease. Hand, foot, and mouth disease is an infectious disease caused by enterovirus, characterized by the recurrence of vesicles in the oral mucosa, red papules and vesicles on the limbs and buttocks, accompanied by fever. I don't think the blisters on your legs are related to hand, foot, and mouth disease. Hand, foot, and mouth disease can be quite harmful to children, so I recommend that parents take their child to a specialist for a follow-up examination and seek medical treatment under the guidance of a doctor. In daily life, you can provide your child with enough care and attention, pay close attention to their diet, and hope that the child can recover as soon as possible!
