Sounds exactly like DS and I when we had it. He actually presented with the scabs around his mouth/face and only pin *****s on his hands, they took a while to come up into blisters those ones. He also had them on the back of his neck, knee and around his bottom and genitalia. It took a while after the ones around his mouth came out for the rest of them to full develop. We are now going through the loosing of fingernails stage but I am told that it doesnt happen to everyone. Guess we were just extra lucky
Remember too if she has it that she will carry it in her stools for weeks after the spots dry out.
Thanks so much ladies.
Will it take a few days for the blisters to come out? The ones on her face started yesterday arvo along with the ones on her bottom and she's gotten a few more since, but the hands would only be this afternoon.
My eldest didn't really blister when he had his HFM he really only had a couple of little spots, my youngest his started off with blisters on his feet, because we were on holidays in Darwin I put them down to being from his shoes that he hadn't worn before and he was wearing them with barefeet, it wasn't until I was on the plane flight home and he wasn't swollowing that I started to suspect HFM.
Sounds like it hun, mine had it really mildly just a few months ago - no pain in the mouth or much blistering etc. Izzy only had red spots all over her hands and feet but they didn't blister. J's blistered but he didn't seem to phased by it. They are contagious until after the blisters pop. Hope she recovers fast xoxox
