What Causes Skin Peeling Around Toes And Fingers While Having Foot And Mouth Disease?
My 21 month old grandson was having an eczema flare up and was exposed to a child with Hand, Foot & Mouth disease then developed HSP (Henoch-Schonlein Purpura) because of his severe reaction to the Hand, Foot and mouth virus...the lesions have healed but his skin around his fingers and toes is peeling. He can t get into his regular physician for 2 days so I m trying to see if the peeling is from some of the lesions he had on his hands and feet or if it s something else.
