Patient's question:
These days, I've developed many blisters on my hands and feet, and I don't know what caused this. I'm worried that I might have hand, foot, and mouth disease. Before, an adult in front of my house had hand, foot, and mouth disease, and it was like this. I really don't know what's wrong with me. I'm very concerned that I might have hand, foot, and mouth disease, so I want to know if adults can get hand, foot, and mouth disease?Doctor's answer:
Adults can also get hand, foot, and mouth disease. It doesn't matter what age you are to get it. However, children get it more often because their immune systems are weaker and they are more easily infected. You should pay close attention and observe the baby. If red rashes and papules appear again on the baby's hands, feet, and mouth, and there is also redness, it is hand, foot, and mouth disease. In that case, you should give the baby a lot of medicine to treat it. At home, you should also pay attention to diet and behavior habits.
