What Is Hand, Foot, and Mouth Disease?

6. Rash
Roughly a week after the infection took place, a rash will develop. The rash consists of small red lumps that can look like blisters. As mentioned, they can appear on the soles of the feet, the palms of the hands, the buttocks, and around the patient’s mouth.
Some lesions will also be found on the inside of the mouth and these can be particularly painful for the patient. While the rest of the rash can also be painful, it is thankfully not usually itchy. The patient should try and prevent interfering with the spots to help prevent an infection occurring.
