Hi what does this look like to everyone, it appeared all of a sudden this morning she hadn’t eaten anything new, I have taken her to the doctor and he didn’t really have a clue said it wasn’t oral thrush cause she doesn’t have any in her mouth and not impetigo because it’s not yellow and crusty.

Check the palms of her hands and soles of feet, it could be hand foot and mouth.

That looks like primary herpes infection. Anyone got a cold sore at the moment?

Mum23girlies · 31/10/2023 20:31

there is nothing on her hands or feet and no one has a cold sore. She doesn’t like kisses anyway prefers to blow kisses

The inside of her lips has white patches, the doctor said it could be because teeth?
