Suggest Treatment For Sores On Legs, Mouth And Arms
Question: Hi, my daughter has come up with this sores on her legs, mouth and arms but its not so sore on her arms. It started 2 days ago with a couple of little spots and she was sent home they thought it was chickenpox but by the next morning they were sores on her legs?
Brief Answer:
Can you add a picture of the entire face showing the mouth?
Detailed Answer:
Hi and thank you so much for this query.
I am so sorry to hear about this rah that your daughter has. I have reviewed the information fully and this is suggestive of a possible viral disease termed hand-foot and mouth disease. To be more settled on this, I will like to review another image of the entire face centered around the mouth. Also, is this rash itchy and very painful?
The best treatment plan is to wash the body with an antiseptic lotion such as Cyteal. NO topical drug should be applied. If in pains, please use tylenol for relief. Healing usually set in between 7-10days.
I hope this helps. I wish you well. Feel free to ask for more information and clarifications if need be. Above all, thanks for using our services.
