Hello dear. Thank you for using HCM. I read your query and understand your concern. I looks you are suffering from a viral infection , Hand-foot-and-mouth disease a mild, contagious viral infection common in young children is characterized by sores in the mouth and a rash on the hands and feet. Hand-foot-and-mouth disease is most commonly caused by a coxsackievirus.
There's no specific treatment for hand-foot-and-mouth disease. Frequent hand-washing and avoiding close contact with people who are infected with hand-foot-and-mouth disease may help reduce your risk of infection. Measles rush comes from head to feet and goes away from feet to head. so is not it. Best regards.
