Question
My baby has red spots on the palm of their hand. Is this a symptom of hand, foot, and mouth disease?
Answer
If your baby simply has redness or spots on the palm of their hand, it is not a symptom of hand, foot, and mouth disease. It may be due to allergies or other irritants. You can try applying an antiallergic ointment. If the condition is severe, seek medical attention promptly to avoid affecting their health. Avoid consuming allergenic and irritating foods such as seafood, chili peppers, alcohol, coffee, etc.
