looks like handfoot mouth disease

Detailed Answer:
Hi
Thanks for writing to us.
I have seen the attached pictures.

Based on the image and description it looks like handfoot mouth disease. There could be similar rashes on hands and inside mouth.
It is a viral infection. No treatment is available or required. It will settle in a few days.
Confirm the same by consulting your doctor and have her examined to rule out chickenpox.
Wishing your child good health.
Regards
Dr Arun
