Itching and Blisters on Hands: Hand, Foot, and Mouth Disease or Fungal Infection?

Question

Are the itchy blisters on a child’s hands a sign of hand, foot, and mouth disease?

Answer

Doctors suggest that if there are only itchy blisters on the hands, the possibility of a fungal infection should be ruled out first. Hand, foot, and mouth disease typically presents with blisters on the hands and feet, along with oral ulcers and fever symptoms.
