Question 1

i work with children and have been exposed to hand-foot-and-mouth recently. i have a fever of 101 and muscle aches/ unwell feeling, but no blisters or rash yet.  should i just treat it like a cold, or could hand-foot-mouth present like this in adults?

Accepted Answer

Hand foot: and mouth disease is caused by the coxsackie virus which may only give fever diarrhea or vomiting 
in adults may or may not give the rash
you should be better in a couple of days
drink more fluids and treat your fever appropiatly

Question 2

i have got rashes on my hands and feet, what can i do for this?

Accepted Answer

Derm app: There are so many rashes that exist, it would take more information to answer your question.  You can download a dermatology app to your smartphone for free, take a picture of your rash, and send it to a dermatologist.  You might be able to get a free and accurate answer.

Question 3

i have some rashes or sores in my hands and feet. :( its been 4days today. im afraid. what are these :(?

Accepted Answer

Syphilis?: One of the few conditions that causes rashes in palms and soles is Syphilis. Tinea is a fungal infection that can also do this. Palmo-pustular psoriasis is another. I suggest you go and see a dermatologist. Get a TPA (alteplase) test and RPR to make sure it isn't syphilis.

Question 4

what causes rashes on the bottom of feet and middle of hands?

Accepted Answer

Send picture: A better description will be needed.  Attach a picture if possible. There are many potential causes of skin rash which doesn't mean much without more details.

Question 5

why do i get really itchy hands and feet? no rashes just burning itchiness.

Accepted Answer

Neuropathy: Burning sensation without any obvious lesion on the hand and feet is suspicious for neuropathy.  Need more detailed history/exam and may some diagnostic studies

Question 6

since i had the covid booster last november, i developed spontaneous ucitaria. the rashes have subsided but i have began getting very itchy feet and hands. my only relif is antihistamine. its been this way for 5 months?

Accepted Answer

: You are probably one of the unfortunates who are suffering a prolonged side effect of covid-19 vaccine. Because you no longer have urticaria any more and only having itchy hands and feet so I suggest using lidocaine 4% OTC for those sites as needed if you do not want to take antihistamine. If you still prefer antihistamine, you should use fexofenadine (allegra 24) for less drowsy, sleepy effect.

Question 7

rashes appears on foot with itching now on hands its about 9 days ago itching disappear but stii rashes exit he is only about 19 month should i b fear?

Accepted Answer

A photo is helpful: to diagnose a rash.  In a toddler with rash on feet and hands, two things most common:  dyshydrotic eczema, which is a type of eczema caused by excess sweating of hands and feet, or a coxsackie virus, called Hand Foot Mouth which is a benign short term viral illness, usually with sores in the mouth as well. Since the itching is gone, OK to wait a few more days before evaluation unless rash spreads

Question 8

i have neck stiffness and rashes on hands & feet. could this be caused by meningitis vaccination i received 2 days ago?

Accepted Answer

Unlikely: There are few things that produce a rash on the palms and soles, including syphilis and tick borne illnesses like rocky mountain spotted fever.  This sounds like you should go to a doctor and be evaluated.  Good luck.

Question 9

i have hand foot and mouth disease, ive had it since sunday, so 3 days, when is it safe to go back to school? i still have rashes on my feet and hand

Accepted Answer

Hand,foot and mouth: This viral illness may be transmitted for several days after symptoms resolve. Wait a few days after symptoms to go back to school in fairness to the other students. Good hygiene is also important and that is a reason the disease spreads more readily among children who may be less vigilant about hand washing,etc.

Question 10

strange rashes on my hands and feet. got some firm little reddish spots that don't break. is that hand-foot-mouth?

Accepted Answer

Possibly: Hand-foot-mouth disease is a common viral infection which leads to blisters or red spots on the palms, soles of the feet, and in the mouth. It can be associated with some fever. The condition is self-limited, lasting about a week. The only treatment is symptomatic. Check with your doctor if is continues.
