Can hand foot mouth spread to the entire body?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Unlikely: I've seen the hfm spots cover the forearms to fingers & knees down + buttocks & a few around the mouth. I have not seen it on the rest of the body.One needs to consider chickenpox & other viruses if it is covering most of the body.
