tiny red clustering bumps on my 2yr old's hand

[belinda502]

Has anybody had their child contract a blistering (100's of blisters) red, and looks like the skin is scarring on the palm and finger area of one hand? She scratched herself on the inner thigh and it transmitted there.  It developed over the last 6 days. The only thing I have used to rebalance the area is the Microtek spray and shampoo for horses which seems to be working very well almost immediately and my husband's Aloe creme and have super alkalized her body with berries and carrot juice.  And I've disinfected the entire house with Lysol (handles floors bedding).  But I wanted to know if anybody else has seen this and knows what it is. My pediatrician has no idea (not surprised). This is why I became an Alternative Health Care provider.  I can rebalance many things but I don't always know what it's called (tsk).  She's getting better quickly but I am so curious to know what this stuff is called.

Hi Doc. Kaur:
Yes, as it turns out, after further reflection, (or looking it up in her physician's desk reference finally) , her pediatrician called me later on and indicated it is probably hand, foot mouth virus.  It's an enterovirus family strain I've since learned.  I also learned (not from the pedetrician) that the entero family of viruses are deactivated by Quercetin (source is from a cell biologist of 40 years researching in these matters). So we've supplemented her day with Quercetin mixed with peanut butter in toddler doses and continued bathing in the anti-bacterial/virul/fungal shampoo as well as added a halogen light to her snacking area to maximize her exposure - as we are in winter and the sun isn't as readily available as this sort of situation requires.  UVL also deactivates many viruses with the assistance of the extra Vitamin D it produces within the epidermis tissue according to research discovered in the NEJM and JAMA archives.  As soon as I began this regimen along with the carrot juice, (riboflavinoids - quercetin contained within and it's highly alkalizing - although wheatgrass juice would be preferred but wasn't handy), she immediately began to turn around - within 30 minutes.  She never had it in her mouth fortunately and was always a healthy eater. I, nor her doctor, saw signs of dehydration fortunately, but that's probably because she really likes her vegetable juice! ;)  Many, many thanks for your input. It is very helpful and corroborates her doctor's supposition on what it was.   I hope we can remain in contact.  I'm a Master herbalist and know many Natural Ways to rebalance the body and am dedicated to only rebalancing in the 'Natural Way' (TM) for my clients and my family. I hope my small findings and results help you in some small way to support your clients!  Warmest Regards.

Hello,
From such symptoms allergic reaction and viral rashes like hands, foot and mouth disease need to be ruled out. Symptoms of fever, poor appetite and sore throat can appear three to five days after exposure. A blister-like rash on the hands, feet and in the mouth usually develops one to two days after the initial symptoms.

There is no specific treatment. Treatment is aimed at fever control and maintaining good oral hydration. Take adequate fluids throughout the day and acetaminophen if there is any fever.

If the symptoms persist or become severe then please consult a physician. It is very difficult to precisely confirm a diagnosis without examination and investigations and the answer is based on the medical information provided. For exact diagnosis, you are requested to consult your doctor. I sincerely hope that helps. Take care and please do keep me posted on how you are doing.
