Do The Blisters Caused By Hand Foot And Mouth Disease Leave Scars?

I just got hand foot and mouth disease this past Sunday. I m not itching as much & almost all of the blisters are busted especially on my face. So now where there was blisters on my face is peeling. While I m peeling the blisters off, are they going to leave a bunch of scars on my face? Because where I peel off the skin it s got a pink pigment to it.

Hello,

It is a superficial blister and heal without scars. If there is chronic scarring, you can seek help from a dermatologist.

Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
