Has anyone's toddler ever had this kind of rash/bumps develop on them? My sons doctor said it's two kinds of rashes/Skin condition but she isn't exactly sure what it is. She said his hands looks like Hand foot and mouth disease but he's had it for more than a week and it hasn't spread anywhere else. She said the rash on his arms look like Eczema but she isn't 100%. We are going to another doctor today to push for a confident answer. The bumps on his arms don't bother him but the rash on his hands itch him when he sleeps because he sweats so much. Would you push for a better diagnosis?

It looks like hand foot and mouth to me. I know kids that had the HFM rash for more than a week.

@laywatz did they have a fever and where was it located?

@journeyofbabbles when my daughter had it she had a low grade fever. She got the rash on her vagina first and had a few sores on her butt. Then it showed up all around her mouth. Then it moved to her hands and then a few days later she got it all over her toes.
And then her poor toes started to blister and peel.

@journeyofbabbles but when my nephew had it he only had it on the inside of his mouth and a few dots on his hands

It does look like hfm. My son had it a couple years ago, never really "spread" so to speak. It was really only on his feet/knees, And maybe 2 bumps on his hands that you reaaally had to look for.

how long did it last for your son?

Honestly it lasted about 2? Weeks, could have been longer for it all to go away. I waited a week or so before even bringing him into the doctor. The palms of your sons hands looked like the soles of my sons feet, was Itchy too. It was annoying, but I made sure he was always clean, he didn't share any towels or anything, as I had other kids that could have caught it as it's contagious. Getting a second opinion is good though!

HFM can last awhile. I’ve heard of kids having it a few weeks. My son about a week or two. Make sure your cleaning everything and don’t let him share. We have three kids and our youngest was the only one to get it
