What are the symptoms of hand, foot, and mouth disease?

Patient's question:

Red spots reappeared on the lips again, and there was some peeling on the lips. The red spots appeared again after being exposed to the sun yesterday at noon, and the peeling has lasted for two days.
Past treatment history and effectiveness: No treatment has been administered.
What kind of help is needed: What is the situation?

Doctor's answer:

Hand, foot, and mouth disease is characterized by red blisters in the mouth, on the palms and soles of the feet, and sometimes on the buttocks of some children. The red spots that appear on the child's lips may not necessarily be hand, foot, and mouth disease; you can check if there are any on the child's palms and soles. The small red spots you mentioned could be small blisters, and the white scales may be due to dry lips. If they are outside the lips, they should not be hand, foot, and mouth disease, and there is no big deal. Observe carefully for two days. If they do not disappear or improve, you can go to the dermatology department for follow-up.
