Hello! I have just noticed these red circles on my 5 year old’s feet. She has absolutely no other symptoms and happy in herself? Eating, drinking well. I will book a gp appt however anyone has any idea what this could be? Thanks

That looks like hand foot and mouth. My children have had it a fair few times since starting school, they had cold like symptoms before the blisters. I didn’t have any other symptoms at all bar the blisters

I’m not any sort of expert but wonder about ringworm. Can you get DD to a pharmacist and ask them?

Oh that’s interesting as she has no other symptoms at all. Agree could be a mild hfm.
thank you both will try to go to the pharmacist.

Looks like ringworm to me. Either way, get it looked at!
