HFM - elbow??

[yaboreme]

Son keeps coming out in rashes, I'm convinced it's HFM.

I've read that it comes mostly as described on the hands, feet and mouth.

However also on other body parts.

Just looking for some help really as not sure there is anything I can do, I've asked pharmacist and they said 'possibly' and can't get a gp appointment.

Thanks

Looks dry and maybe a bit eczema-like. Surely with an infection like HFM you get it and then it clears up. If it’s coming and going that doesn’t sound like an infection.

Thank you for your reply.

I don't think I worded correctly, the rash keeps appearing in different places that I wouldn't expect for the traditional HFM.

It was on his bottom, thighs and now elbows along with a temp. Poor thing.

He does have eczema so I originally treated as it was as I have the correct prescribed creams/ bath ointment that usually makes a difference, but not in this case.

Is there anything that can be done for HFM or does it simply run it's course?
