Patient's question:
Your child got hand, foot, and mouth disease a few days ago. After recovery, the skin on their hands is peeling. Hello, is it normal for the skin on the hands to peel after recovering from hand, foot, and mouth disease?Doctor's answer:
After a child recovers from hand, foot, and mouth disease, it is also normal for peeling to occur on the palms or soles of the hands and feet. This is because after the blisters from hand, foot, and mouth disease heal, localized peeling symptoms may reappear. So there is no need to worry, but it is essential to closely monitor the child and avoid using hands to peel the skin, as this can cause bleeding and potential transmission. Additionally, try to minimize the child's contact with water and avoid exposure to many chemicals to prevent irritation.
