If well, yes: Hfm although annoying and possibly uncomfortable to the child is not a serious infection with no known sequelae. If the child is otherwise well, and has a benign past history, she can wait for her check up in three weeks.

Get it checked?: Purple hands and feet i we do not know if the rash and blisters had resolved before this purple hnds ;feet appeared now or it was change over of the original rash and blisters. If the symptoms came after all had cleared up, than see your pediatrician otherwise wait till the check up in three weeks.
