It happens: The same blisters seen in kids can occur the same way and in the same locations in adults. The HFM pattern illness may also have no spots or a few in only one location. It is an enterovirus, so abdominal pain and or diarrhea are also seen.If you got it from your baby it should have come up within a week at the latest.
