Oh my, i noticed this week my 18m old sons nails peeling from the base, I planned on taking him to doctors next week. He hasn't had HFMD but this makes me think he may have and its gone un noticed! He hasnt had any spots on his hands or feet though! The only thing he has had recently is some blister/scabs behind his elbows and knees, the doctor said this was a strain of the coldsore virus and cleared with fucidin cream......can they get HFMD on other parts of their body (I know the name suggests not). I will definitely be taking him to the doctors for a check up! How do the contract HFMD??
This article does put me somewhat at ease knowing a)its common b)its nothing too serious but i do wonder how he got it!!!?????View Thread
