Patient's question:
My son is 9 years old and attends a boarding school, so he usually manages his own life. However, he has recently said that his hands often itch and he gets many small pimples. He wants to ask if this could be hand, foot, and mouth disease? What kind of treatment is needed for this condition?Doctor's answer:
Hello, small bumps have reappeared on the child's hands, accompanied by itching symptoms. It cannot be confirmed whether this is a case of hand, foot, and mouth disease. It is possible that the bumps are caused by a fungal infection on the child's hands, leading to tinea manuum. It is advisable to adjust treatment based on the specific symptoms for a period of time. If necessary, it is recommended to go to the hospital for further examination and diagnosis. The above information can be used as a reference.
