Could Hand, Foot And Mouth Disease Cause Spots On The Feet?
Hi. My two daughters have both been diagnosed with hand foot and mouth> They developed symptoms and stayed away from school for the week just be safe. This was two and a half weeks ago. I have just noticed in the bath that they both have quite a lot of very tiny white spots on the soles of their feet, under some toes and in the palms of their hands. Could this be the final stages of the illness or something else? Many thanks.

HI, thanks for using healthcare magic
The tiny lesions are related to the infection. They should resolve on their own.
It is possible that they may be small areas of scar tissue from the 'bumps' that would have been present in the hand foot and mouth disease.
After 3 weeks, they should no longer be contagious.
I hope this helps
