I first noticed it on Monday then seemed to clear up but now it's noticeable again. It looks like little blisters that have burst but she never had any blisters to begin with so isn't that. It's the fact they are perfect circles that's making me not want to dismiss it as dry skin etc.

Hand foot and mouth? Anything inside her mouth, on bum or feet?

Cantthinkofaname123 · 29/09/2017 11:25

They're not red or raised its like little holes in the top layer of skin can't think of any other way to describe it.

Lapin no I've checked all over its only on the one hand. Hand, Foot and Mouth was my first thought.

I would say HF and M too. When my two boys had it they only got it on their feet.

Callous? From holding a toy?

Cantthinkofaname123 · 29/09/2017 11:46

Butt is only on one hand and not red or anything. She's totally well in herself as well do you think it could still be that?

Changer she doesn't really hold toys so don't think it's that but she sucks her hands constantly. Increasingly so in the last week so did wonder if anything to do with that.

Could it be this? I get one or two blisters (not lots like some of the pics) and when they heal they look like your baby's skin

Looks like h f and m maybe just mild like chicken pox some have more than others i think

My first thought was what Stepping said, I get this on my hands, very itchy!

Cantthinkofaname123 · 29/09/2017 12:02

Stepping thanks for replying I can't bring myself to look at the photos, the graphic images warning put me off. Since a child I've had a thing about skin conditions and even looking at photos can set me off. You can imagine the fun I had when I developed eczema when I was pregnant. I did read it though and it actually rings a bell now I've saw the name, I'm starting to think that DD1 had the same thing a couple of years ago so wonder if maybe it could be that.

Mum thanks for replying. I thought I'd ask here first before I made an appointment at doctor in case they thought I was being neurotic which I usually am. Since a few posters have said it looks like hf&m I'm going to give them a call. Had her at the surgery yesterday for her jags as well wish I mentioned it then.

Little bit of hydrocortisone clears it up but don't think you could use that on a baby.

Cantthinkofaname123 · 29/09/2017 12:04

Urgle do you know if it's genetic? I used to get something like this a few years back and so did DD1 I remember reading about it and thinking it could be that. I forgot all about it until I read stepping's post as we haven't been bothered for a while.

I'd say it's just from the skin being spitty all the time - the fact that it's mostly in the creases seems consistent with that.

Urglewurgle · 01/10/2017 11:30

Can't I'm not sure and tbh I usually get it when I've been using cleaning products without gloves.
