Is there a cream to soothe/heal hand-foot?

30-year-old woman2 years ago
Hello, My 3 year old boy has caught the foot hand mouth and complains that his lesions (around the mouth and on his feet) hurt. In his face, it's quite imposing and it's starting to make a mess. Are there any lotions to apply to relieve and heal the lesions. I'm afraid it will stay scarred. Thank you for your answer, my little man is very tired of his sores.

Hello ma'am, thank you for your question, I'm sorry to read about her troubles!
Any fragrance free cream can help soothe the irritation and itching, like Base Glaxal, Cerave, Cutibase. I like Aveeno which is oat based (take care to choose the fragrance free formulation). This can be applied as often as needed during the day, there is no maximum.
I also suggest using a fragrance-free soap like Dove, and not using any soap on the face.
After the bath, lightly pat the skin to leave a thin layer of moisture and apply the moisturizer within 5 minutes of getting out of the bath.
We hope this has been helpful to you and if you have any further questions, please do not hesitate to contact us
