So son was ill from Saturday. Fever of 40 tired etc... then Sunday I noticed red spots in his mouth. Monday they started on his chin. Doctor looked and said hfm as a few faint ones on his feet and one on his arm. However today there's more coming up by his eyebrows. He's itchy and sore. It looks horrid! I've had hfm and was more on palms and soles and not as yellow looking. Thoughts welcome 🙏

I would say hfm but I’m just a parent.

I would agree HFM it doesn't look like chicken pox.

Doesn’t look like cp. hope your little one feels better soon.

I think it could be impetigo.

Apologies I didn't read the OP properly. I just looked up a picture. Probably is HFM

Looks exactly like my DD’s face when she had HFM. It’s a rotten thing. Hope he isn’t suffering too much.
