hand foot mouth
Toddler blister illness
Hand, foot, and mouth disease is a common viral illness affecting young children, causing sores in the mouth and a rash on the hands and feet.
It spreads easily in daycare settings and typically resolves within a week: The whole preschool class came down with hand foot mouth.
Often abbreviated HFMD.
Despite the similar name, it's unrelated to foot-and-mouth disease in livestock.
