Hand, foot and mouth disease is a common viral illness seen in young children. It causes small red spots, blisters, or sores on the hands, feet, mouth, and sometimes the buttocks or legs. The condition is often accompanied by fever, sore throat, and reduced appetite. It spreads easily through close contact, especially in schools and daycare settings.

At Claire Derma, management focuses on relieving skin discomfort, preventing secondary infection, and supporting recovery. The dermatologist evaluates the skin lesions and overall symptoms. Treatment includes soothing topical applications, anti-itch measures, and guidance on oral care and hygiene. Parents are advised on isolation precautions to reduce spread.
