Patient's question:
My baby is 2 years old this year, and has been in good health. Today, I accidentally noticed small red spots on the child's face. Is it hand, foot, and mouth disease? I didn't notice anything on the palms or soles, but the buttocks are red, and there are no small bumps around. I'm very worried. Please doctors reply to me quickly.Doctor's answer:
According to your description, the baby's condition does not need to be considered for hand, foot, and mouth disease. Hand, foot, and mouth disease is mainly caused by enterovirus infection, leading to the recurrence of rashes or blisters on the hands, feet, mouth, buttocks, or even the whole body, accompanied or not accompanied by fever. Currently, the baby's condition does not need to be considered, but it is necessary to closely monitor whether the baby's hands and feet show rashes or if fever occurs.
