Patient's question:
Recently, I've noticed that my child has developed blisters in their mouth. I suspect it might be hand, foot, and mouth disease. Hello, does hand, foot, and mouth disease appear on the back of the hand?Doctor's answer:
Hand, foot, and mouth disease is caused by a viral infection. It primarily appears on our limbs and in the mouth. It is generally contagious, so it is important to avoid close contact to prevent cross-infection. The treatment for hand, foot, and mouth disease typically involves the use of antiviral medications. Additionally, it is essential to maintain cleanliness in the affected areas and take preventive measures.
