Characteristics of hand, foot and mouth disease herpes

HFMD is commonly seen in children as well as adults, especially those who have frequent contact with young children such as kindergarten teachers. The typical HFMD rash is a 0.2-0.4 cm sized papule or herpes on the mucous membrane of the hands, feet and mouth, most of which are light red or red in color, and if it is a papule, the herpes is less fluid and there is a red halo around the papule or herpes. The rash can be painful, causing difficulty in eating, drooling, crying, etc. The rash varies from a few or even dozens or hundreds of rashes, and most of the rashes will disappear naturally after 7-14 days without leaving scars, and can also appear on the extensor surfaces of the knees, buttocks, or even the whole body, in addition to the hands, feet, and oral mucosa.
