Does hand, foot, and mouth disease cause blisters on the face?

Patient's question:

Doctor, let me think for a moment. Does hand, foot, and mouth disease cause peeling on the face? Because my baby is 2 years old this year, and it's said that hand, foot, and mouth disease has been quite severe recently. Now, there's a small blister on my baby's face, and it probably feels a bit itchy. I'm a bit worried it might be hand, foot, and mouth disease. What should I do?

Doctor's answer:

According to your description, hand, foot, and mouth disease may cause widespread rashes. Therefore, it is currently not possible to rule out the possibility of having hand, foot, and mouth disease. Close and careful monitoring of the baby's condition, bones and joints, as well as the appearance of rashes on the mouth, buttocks, and other areas is necessary. Frequent handwashing, avoiding contact with individuals who have hand, foot, and mouth disease, and avoiding crowded places are essential to prevent cross-infection.
