Does hand, foot, and mouth disease cause itching on the hands and feet?

Patient's question:

Recently, my daughter has developed many pimples on her hands and feet, and they are very itchy. I'm worried that she might have hand, foot, and mouth disease. Hello doctor, does hand, foot, and mouth disease cause itching on the hands and feet?

Doctor's answer:

Recurring hand, foot, and mouth disease will again present with blisters. If the recurrence involves multiple blisters, it is more likely to cause itching, pain, and discomfort. Based on your baby's condition, isolation treatment should be considered. If the recurrence is due to a viral infection, antiviral treatment may be necessary before deciding to use a topical solution. Avoid spicy and irritating foods to prevent worsening symptoms. It is recommended to use medication under the guidance of a local doctor.
