Patient's question:
There are a few red bumps on the outside of my arms and wrists, but there are none on the palms or soles of my hands and feet. They resemble mosquito bites.Previous treatment and effectiveness: However, I noticed small blisters resembling herpes on the red bumps, which are translucent. I don’t know if it’s hand, foot, and mouth disease, as there are no other symptoms. My spirits are good.
Doctor's answer:
Hand, foot, and mouth disease is often caused by contact history, with recurrent herpes or ulcers appearing in the mouth. Typical cases also present with the same type of rash on the bones and muscles, often accompanied by symptoms such as fever, cough, nausea, and vomiting. Based on the above, diagnosis is generally not difficult. According to your description, it is unlikely to be hand, foot, and mouth disease, and could be considered as insect bite dermatitis or papular urticaria. There is a high probability of itching, and the main treatment involves anti-allergic and anti-infective measures. It is also important to prevent insect bites and maintain skin cleanliness. With these measures, the condition usually improves quickly. Wishing the child good health.
