Hi. Your Chat Doctor.  It is hand foot mouth disease. Initially the lesions will increase and then will gradually remit. One more thing I would like to keep you informed.... There might be some skin peeling in 4-6 weeks time. Please do not think its some other disease.... It's a natural course of this viral illness. Do not use any topical agents or emollients as this might aggravate the lesions. There might be severe itching for which you can use HY
