No: Should resolve within a few days. However if it still persists revisit pediatrician to conform it is not unrelated problem such as molluscum contagiosum or other unrelated secondary rash.

No: If the rash is related to the hand foot and mouth disease and is crusted then no worries. Usually when blistery rashes are crusted over it indicates healing and the "scabs" just need to heal. If this rash is not related and is not blistery and is different, then have him seen as it is hard to diagnose a rash without seeing it.

See note: No. Typically the incubation period for this virus in children is only a week and is not transmissible after such time. Simply allow the virus to run it's course and use disinfectants regularly throughout the house.
