To little to go on: HFM pattern illness is triggered by any of 2-3 viruses. The pattern usually develops over a day or 2.With one bump, there is not enough to go on to call it. Might just be a bug bite. You are welcome to start over and give more history of findings, but this is not enough to call it.
