Patient's question:
Doctor, hello, my daughter recently went to kindergarten for tutoring and has been coming back with widespread redness all over her body, similar to an allergy, and it's very itchy. I can't let her go to school anymore. Could this be hand, foot, and mouth disease? I'd like to consult a doctor. What are the symptoms of hand, foot, and mouth disease?Doctor's answer:
A widespread redness and itching on the body may be related to unclean substances on the skin or an allergic reaction to food. It should absolutely not be a symptom of hand, foot, and mouth disease. Hand, foot, and mouth disease is characterized by red spots on the mouth, feet, hands, and buttocks. First, apply an anti-inflammatory and pain-relieving ointment to the affected area. Pay attention to skin hygiene and avoid consuming allergenic foods. If the condition persists or worsens, it is necessary to visit a dermatology department for a thorough examination and treatment. It is also important to change clothes frequently and take frequent baths, while maintaining a light diet.
